A Correct answer
Explanation

According to Ethnologue and other linguistic sources, there are approximately 7,100-7,150 living languages spoken in the world today. The figure 'more than 2,700' is significantly understated but technically true - 7,000+ is indeed more than 2,700. The statement is factual, though the threshold seems unusually low. Perhaps this was written when estimates were closer to 3,000-4,000 languages.
