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

How to write a closing paragraph?
trapecia [35]
I'm not good with this stuff, but I'd try summarizing the paper for your closing paragraph. End with a sentence like, "That's why I love summer vacation" if it's about why you like summer vacation. I hope that makes sense!

Tituba is not whipped into a confession in the play like she is in the film. Why do you
puteri [66]

The Crucible is a tragedy play by Arthur Miller on which a movie was directed. The difference between the scenes in movies and plays is created to show the element of drama.

<h3>Who is Tituba?</h3>

Tituba is one of the black characters of the story that is an enslaved girl of Kalina nationality and is accused of practicing witchcraft during trials. In the play, it is seen that Tituba is threatened to confess her involvement in witchcraft.

In the movie, she is not threatened but thrashed to admit her involvement to increase the intensity of the drama and to create a greater impact on the audience by showing the discrimination.

Therefore, in the movie, the scenes are different to show the increased drama.
