Choose the item(s) that point(s) the criticism to the CLT approach.

I. Difficulties in defining which functions of language (or which tasks) should be presented to students (and in which sequence).
II. Dividing teaching into functions of language or tasks brings the negative argument of teaching atomization, i.e., of breaking the language in small pieces that do not form a coherent whole.
III. The debate if it is possible to have "real-life communication" in a classroom setting.
IV. The inability of CLT to adapt to the various contexts of language teaching, such as cultural contexts that posit a hierarchy between students and teachers.

Choose the CORRECT alternative.
