Amy Tan's mother's language variety played a significant role in shaping Tan's Identity. Which excerpt from her reflective essay "Mother Tongue"
shows her admiration and appreciation of her mother's broken English?
1. And sure enough, the following week, there we were in front of this astonished stockbroker, and I was sitting there red-faced and quiet,
and my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting at his boss in her Impeccable broken English.
2. Soclologists and linguists probably will tell you that a person's developing language skills are more Influenced by peers than by family. But
I do think that the language spoken in the family, especially in Immigrant families which are more Insular, plays a large role in shaping the
language of the child
3. Lately, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" or
"fractured" English
4. I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with the English I spoke to my mother, which for lack of a better term might be
described as "simple"... I wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her Imagery, the
rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
