The statement which best expresses the central idea of "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan is:

C) The best way to understand someone's true abilities is to listen to him or her use language.

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.

What is more important? What a person thinks, or what a person does?
skelet666 [1.2K]
It's more important to what a person does because as they say, actions speak louder than words do. A person can think a certain way but not act on it but what a person does reflects what they decide internally and what they wanted to do with that idea externally showing that they are serious with that idea of theirs in their head.

PART A: Which of the following best identifies the main theme of the text? A Sometimes adopting a new heritage can result in th
Lana71 [14]

“Everyday use" by Alice Walker was  set in the late 1960s or early 1970s, a tumultuous time when many African Americans were struggling to redefine and seize control of their social, cultural, and political identity in American society.

The time in which “Everyday Use” took place was an era when groups of all ideologies—some peaceful, some militant—arrived on scene. The Black Panthers and Black Muslims were groups created to resist what they saw as a white-oppressive society.

The sentence that best identifies the main theme of the text is:

A.- Sometimes adopting a new heritage can result in the rejection of a person’s true heritage and family history.

And we can see it depicted in these quotations from the short story:

<em>“Mama disapproves of the strange man’s presence and is equally disapproving of Dee’s dress and appearance. Hakim-a-barber greets and tries to hug Maggie, who recoils.”</em> In this quotation we can read that there is strong rejection to both Dee and her boyfriend, and it is based on cultural aspects.

<em>“Dee tells her mother that she has changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo to protest being named after the people who have oppressed her.” </em>This quotation explains the idea quite directly.

<em>“Dee informs Mama that Mama does not understand her own heritage. Kissing Maggie, Dee tells her to try and improve herself and that it’s a new day for black Americans.”</em> Here we can read that Dee sees her own heritage from a whole new and different point of view because she has changed forever.

The final answer is:

A.- Sometimes adopting a new heritage can result in the rejection of a person’s true heritage and family history.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: If Randy Pausch, the author of "Last Lecture", had written a speech explaining the different treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients to consider, which organizational structure would he most likely have used?, would be: He would have used a compare and contrast structure.

Explanation:

Randy Pausch was a professor in some of the most prestiged American universities and he co-authored a book called "Last Lecture", published in 2008, after a famous speech that he delivered in September of 2007 called "Really Achieving your Childhood Dreams". The interesting thing about this speech is that it was delivered exactly one month before Pausch had learned that his pancreatic cancer, was terminal. Although Pausch did not want to speak much about his cancer, because he did not wish to feel the pity, if he had had the chance to write a speech on cancer treatments for patients, he would have had to use compare and contrast because in this way, he would have been able not just to mention the different options, but also offer enough information for patients to make the best decision.
