In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", by Mark Twain, contrasts life on the raft with life on shore. The contrast between the two pertain to the issue of freedom. Jim and Huckleberry life on the shore are driven by the rules of the society. On leaving the shore, being on the raft indicates that they are liberated from the societal norms and can act according to their conscience.

Huckleberry says " there weren't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft does't. You feel mighty free and easy on a raft."

This also indicates the short period of freedom. Therefore, when they step back on the shore, the societal rules are imposed on them. Which they must abide by them again.

Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
Valentin [98]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of language ability?

A. Tan’s mother would not be able to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

C. Tan’s mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

D. Tan’s mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

Answer:

The best option is letter B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

Explanation:

In the essay "Mother Tongue", author Amy Tan discusses the many Englishes that shaped her into becoming who she is. Daughter of immigrant Chinese parents, Tan focuses on arguing how her mother's broken English was perceived not only by herself, but also by others. <u>When Tan mentions the English tests she used to take at school, she shows readers how poorly those tests actually worked in terms of assessing one's ability. Her way to perceive language was different than what was expected from her. Even her mother, whose English was "broken", could see that those fill-in-the-blanks types of activities were trying to limit an idea that actually had almost endless possibilities. There were several ways to fill in those blanks, Tan and her mother both thought, but the school always seemed to expect the most bland, shallow ideas.</u>
