Amy Tan (author of the Joy Luck Club) has written an absolutely terrific piece on what a well educated daughter (Tan) thinks of her mother's "spirited" English. It is an essay that is a masterpiece of its kind.

She explains in detail why her mother's English and how it is written doesn't matter. Her mother has other qualities that her language emphasizes. What matters is how well her mother is able to express herself ignoring all the usual rules of syntax.

From Tan's description, I have to say that C is the best answer.

If the lady speaks only Chinese, the meaning of the phrase means absolutely nothing. It is just sounds. D is wrong.

B is possible, but it would not be true for every idiomatic phrase. So I wouldn't pick B.

A has the same problem as D. I would stick with C

Which of these synonyms best replaces the underlined word in the following sentence?
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>C. Youthful

"Child-like" as a word can best be replaced by the adjective youthful. It is the correct part of speech to fit into the rest of the sentence, and it means basically the same thing. Acting like a child is acting as one did in youth, so youthful and child-like are very close synonyms. </span>

can somebody write me a letter about helping people and feed homeless people and why to provide shelter for people
puteri [66]

We should feed and shelter the homeless because not everyone is as fortunate as you. People go hungry everyday and most of us throw away food we don't eat. People sleep under bridges every night while you're sleeping in your bed, inside your home.  Its inhumane to just sit there and watch someone go hungry, or sleep under a bridge. The least you could do is drive them to a homeless shelter, and if there isn't one nearby, maybe you have a shed or an extra room they could sleep in. Or you could buy them some food and a warm blanket to sleep with. Whatever you do, don't just ignore the homeless. They step out and hold their signs because they are asking you to help, isn't that enough for you?

Help and feed the homeless! <3
