Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like other

s, I have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. What can be inferred from the excerpt? Tan is embarrassed by the nonstandard form of English that her mother speaks. Tan believes that nonstandard forms of English are legitimate languages in their own right. Tan wishes that she did not have to think about the English that her mother speaks. Tan is angry that people are not taught nonstandard English languages in school.

Answer:

Tan believes that nonstandard forms of English are legitimate languages in their own right.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes what can be inferred from the passage. In this passage, Tan tells us that her mother speaks English in a way that is not standard. However, she also says that she hates describing this language as "broken" or "fractured," because this implies that there is something wrong with it. However, she believes it is simply different, and that it is a legitimate language in its own right.
