Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “br

oken” 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. Which best summarizes the central idea in the excerpt?
A. Tan is troubled by the way her mother uses the English language.
B. Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English.
C. Tan has difficulty trying to explain what she means when she writes in English. D. Tan has found that the English language is lacking in descriptive word choices.

Answer: B) Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English.

Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see how Tan explains that she used to describe her mother's English as "broken" or fractured" but she realized that she doesn't like to say that, because she doesn't think that her mother English is damaged or that it needs too be fixed. So, from the given options the one that best summarizes the central idea in the excerpt is the corresponding to option B: Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English.

Hello!

The correct answer is, indeed, option B.

Read the excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale.”
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Because he heard a patient’s yelp through a copper wire, Antonio Meucci invented the “talking telegraph.”

Explanation:

A cause-and-effect relationship is a relationship where one event causes another to happen. The first event is referred to as the cause and its result is referred to as the effect.

Here, we have Antonio Meucci, a trained engineer who created the <em>talking telegraph</em> after hearing a patient's yelp through a copper wire. His engineering knowledge was necessary for this invention, but it isn't the cause. If he hadn't heard the patient's voice through the wire, he probably wouldn't have thought of the talking telegraph.

This is the fourth option is the correct one.
