What details from the passage show why Andy wants to write a letter to be read at the game?

Valentin [98]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of language ability?

A. Tan’s mother would not be able to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

C. Tan’s mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

D. Tan’s mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

Answer:

The best option is letter B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

Explanation:

In the essay "Mother Tongue", author Amy Tan discusses the many Englishes that shaped her into becoming who she is. Daughter of immigrant Chinese parents, Tan focuses on arguing how her mother's broken English was perceived not only by herself, but also by others. When Tan mentions the English tests she used to take at school, she shows readers how poorly those tests actually worked in terms of assessing one's ability. Her way to perceive language was different than what was expected from her. Even her mother, whose English was "broken", could see that those fill-in-the-blanks types of activities were trying to limit an idea that actually had almost endless possibilities. There were several ways to fill in those blanks, Tan and her mother both thought, but the school always seemed to expect the most bland, shallow ideas.

Rewrite the following sentences so that all elements are parallel.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

1. If they could see, if they could understand, if they were programmed by humans for communicating, what story would the robots tell?

2. The city had grown. It had taken over the plazas. It had filled in the gardens. It had pushed the cats out of their usual places.

Explanation:

The term parallelism (also called parallel structure and parallel construction) refers to the way one or more sentences consist of similar phrases or clauses that have the same grammatical structure.

The third clause of the first sentence needs to be rewritten so that the subject is they (robots). In the second example, the third sentence needs to be rewritten so that subject is It (the city) and the tense needs to be changed to the past perfect.
