The Statute of Pleadings makes
English the official language of the
English Parliament in
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The relevant date is 1362, when the Statute of Pleading required spoken English in legal proceedings while records remained Latin; Parliament was also opened in English that year. Strictly, the statute concerned the language of the law courts rather than of Parliament, but the other dates do not identify the event.
