Which line in this excerpt from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" shows that Tan changes her language depending on the audience? I was g

iving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I had already given to half a dozen other groups. The talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club, and it was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room. And it was perhaps the first time she had heard me give a lengthy speech, using the kind of English I have never used with her. I was saying things like "the intersection of memory upon imagination" and "There is an aspect of my fiction that relates to thus-and-thus"—a speech filled with carefully wrought grammatical phrases, burdened, it suddenly seemed to me, with nominalized forms, past perfect tenses, conditional phrases, forms of standard English that I had learned in school and through books…

The line in the above excerpt from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" that shows that Tan changes her language depending on the audience is:

“The talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club, and it was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room.”

Amy Tan's essay “Mother Tongue” is about the difficulties that a child has to face if it grows in a family in which its parents speak 'limited English.' Amy's mother was among such parent who was unable to speak fluent and proper English. It is through the language that the person is judged by others. Amy was brought up by her mother and because of this, her writing style was much influenced by the language spoken at her home. Her mother taught her that a person's perception of the world is influenced by the language spoken at home.

If you had to edit the passage below, which words would you correct?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B, E, F, G

Explanation:

Subscetable is an incorrect spelling, the correct spelling is susceptible, and it means being open to or easily influenced by a thing.

Property in this context is incorrect, the correct word here is 'properly' which can be interpreted as 'in right manner'.

Can't is an abbreviation for cannot, and in a formal writing it is best to use the full form of a word rather than the abbreviation, therefore i would use the word 'cannot' in place of can't.

Unbeneficial is a controversial word yet to well incorporated in the vocabulary, it raises a question in the sentence. I would replace it with 'disadvantageous, unhelpful or unprofitable', because these words will be better understood in this context.

Rudik [331]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Based on the eBook serial "Under the Tall Pines":

How does the image of “labyrinthine corridors” affect the passage? a) It suggests that Zoë’s job in the video library will be rather complicated. b) It helps convey the idea that the video library is not an easy place to find. c) It suggests that the Tall Pines Film Studios is a big company in a large building. d) It helps convey that the video library is tucked away in the back of the film studio.

Answer: b) It helps convey the idea that the video library is not an easy place to find.

Explanation:

The word "labyrinthine" refers to something complex and confusing, like a labyrinth with its irregular arrangement of passages that make it complicated to find one's way.

In this example, as Zoë is on her first day working at the video library at Tall Pines Film Studios, the use of that word bears her impression of the video library as a place that is not easy to find.
