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

Select the correct answer. What is a central idea in the passage?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

A. The theremin is becoming a newly popular Instrument to play.

Explanation:

The above statement which is on the growing popularity of the instrument is the central idea in the passage. This is because, when the instrument was formed by the Russian physicist, its popularity grew small in the 1920's before it fades away. <em>Later in the 1990's, it was revived with so many composers creating good musics and symphonies using the instrument.</em>
