In someAfrican languages, verbs not only encode the timeframe of an event butalso imply the origin of the speaker's knowledge, which may be direct observation,hearsay, or intuition, resulting in speakers of those languages who cannotstate facts without an attribution to some source.

(C) CORRECT. The two types of information encoded by the verbs areproperly expressed in parallel (not only the timeframe ... butalso the origin). In addition, the parallel construction whether x, y, or z is correctly used to list thethree potential sources of the speaker's knowledge. This sentence uses asemicolon to separate two parts that are themselves complete sentences(independent clauses).
