Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself co

nscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with. Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that nonstandard forms of English can express relationship nuances that standard English cannot? Tan encourages her husband to use nonstandard English so her mother can understand him. Tan uses nonstandard English with her husband so that he can better understand what she is saying. Tan forces herself to use nonstandard English with her family to make them feel more comfortable. Tan uses the nonstandard English of her childhood with her husband because it expresses intimacy.

Answer:

Tan uses the nonstandard English of her childhood with her husband because it expresses intimacy.

Explanation:

Tan speaks to her mom in a non-standard way when she said "Not waste money that way" instead of "I will not waste my money on buying that pricey furniture." That's the way some Chinese families communicate with their family members who are non native English speakers. Because Tan has been living with her husband for more than 20 years, their intimacy has grown even in the way they talk to each other embracing each other's unique culture.

Answer:

It takes a lot of courage to be a follower of Jesus in modern society for a multitude of reasons...

Explanation:

In today's society, given the times and their trivial nature recently, many people find it hard to believe there is a god at all. For these people, the concept of keeping their opinion to themselves is foreign, which affects those around them who do believe. In schools, workplaces, and even just in a person's neighborhood, a believer in Jesus gets ridiculed, harassed and even threatened for having faith. Because of the controversy on the topic of God, it is also not allowed to be talked about in school or some workplaces. To be a believer in Christ in a day and age where you are literally in danger from some people because of believing takes bravery and true loyalty to your faith. That is why being a follower of Jesus takes courage. And as sad as it is to say it, many people aren't courageous enough to take that stand.

Hope this helps :)

Which word correctly completes the sentence? 
vichka [17]
Im guessing its B, Because it just makes more sense! I went in there and read it aloud using both words (A and B) B made more sense. With an object being measured, such as a lemon, to make a quart of lemon juice, Id say you'd use the word number. Amount is not a word used for an object or measurement.
