Read the passage: Hyperglots—people who speak many languages—are increasingly visible in a globalized world. Researchers debate whether their abilities are innate or developed. Many hyperglots may possess excellent memories and efficient processing of speech sounds, but they also practice intensively. Studies suggest top performers accumulate thousands of hours of deliberate practice. Ordinary learners, who lack some natural advantages and time, can still learn from hyperglots: set limited ambitions for each language, accept being conversational rather than perfect, seek chances to use the language locally, and rehearse by imagining conversations. Above all, they are not afraid to make mistakes. Which statement best captures a balanced explanation of hyperglot success?

Innate talent alone explains their abilities
Sheer practice alone explains their abilities
Access to travel opportunities explains it

Delay practice until a trip is possible
Switch to reading only grammar books
Only memorize bilingual word lists
