correct ?

Dear teachers,

1) Why do we need to know where a word is divided into syllables ? To know whic syllable should be stressed ?



2) in reading comprehension the verb “to scan” mean a) to scrutinize or b) to read superficially and quickly like the verb “to skim” ?



3) Is it possible to say “from whom” instead of “after whom was gloxinia named?” (I found this in a book)



4) a) Is this sentence correct, or is there something missing after “as many as”?

“17 million people in the , more than half of all the people who speak a language other than English, speak Spanish. That is ten times as many as speak French.”



b) “that” here refers to “17 million people in the speak Spanish”?

Many thanks,

Hela

So, “17 million people in the US, more than half of all the people who speak a language other than English, speak Spanish. That is ten times as many as speak French.” means that there are 17000 American people who speak French?
