Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, ive been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others

, 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 best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mothers fractured english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tans american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mothers english as broken.

Answer :

The following option best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard English is no less valid than standard English :

Tan winces when she describes her mothers English as broken.

Tan winces because she considers her mother's nonstandard English as her mother tongue. It is perfectly clear and natural to her. It is full of vivid descriptions, clear observations and imagery. Nonstandard English is close to her heart because it is the language that helped her to make sense of the world.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Anton [14]

Lizabeth is a character in the story "Marigolds" written by Eugenia Collier. She is a 14 year old girl who is debating between childhood and adulthood.

The sentence that best shows that she is a dynamic character is:

Lizabeth doesn't understand why Miss. Lottie works so hard to keep pretty flowers in her garden when the rest of the town is dusty and poor.

She is a girl that is always trying to find out the reasons of things. She doesn't think that the marigolds belong to a town which lives in poverty and misery. After listening to her parents arguing,  Lizabeth was eventually so angry, that she went out, early in the morning, and ripped up Miss Lottie's marigolds. She didn't see a reason for them to stay, until after she had ripped them up.

In the beginning, Lizabeth thought that the marigolds were pointless. At the end, she understood that she was wrong and they symbolized hope and beauty.

Those changes made her a dynamic character, a perosn who can reflect on her actions.

Yes you can. A good sobbing session is a great catharsis when you are feeling hurt. Webster on-line is a quick place to look up words.
