Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, a

s if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions of the limited English speaker. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan presents factual evidence to support the idea that the English language provides fewer opportunities for expression than other languages. Tan expresses an opinion to support the idea that people who speak nonstandard forms of English are unfairly judged in negative ways. Tan tells a story to support the idea that people who speak nonstandard forms of English are unable to communicate effectively. Tan discusses the limits of writing in English to support the idea that authors learn other languages to express their ideas more fully.

The answer is B.  Tan is presenting the example <em>"limited English"</em>, which is just <em>one of many</em> other terms she heard before, to express how bad they seem. Because, when people deem those whose knowledge of the Mother Tongue <em>is not as the native speaker</em>, therefore is limited, they are defining everything as limited, even their speaking perceptions.

Gnesinka [82]
<span>The correct answer is "Each person, regardless of age or backgrounds, has the right to krump." 'Has' is a third person singular form of the verb 'have.' This means that it will be used in a sentence where the subject is another person (not yourself.) In this case, the subject is "person," which is singular and not yourself. What if the subject of this sentence was "people" instead of person? We would use "have" because the subject is now plural!</span>

Anton [14]

Answer:

lea el párrafo de una narración personal. 1 Puede haber parecido un día normal para todos los demás, pero para mí, no podría haber estado más lejos. 2 Hoy fue mi primer día trabajando como mesera en Pete's Pizza Haven, y no podría haber estado más emocionado. 3 De hecho, estaba tan emocionado que me apresuré a prepararme mucho más rápido de lo normal. 4 "Estoy listo para ir!" Grité, saltando por las escaleras y volando hacia la cocina, donde mi madre estaba haciendo el desayuno. 5 "Tengo mucho que aprender y no quiero llegar tarde", dije para enfatizar. 6 Mi mamá solo sonrió y puso un plato humeante de huevos delante de mí. ¿Qué se debe agregar después de la oración 6 para avanzar más eficazmente la trama? La emoción de mi nuevo trabajo comenzó a disminuir, y comenzó a reconsiderar si realmente era así como quería pasar mi verano. Una vez que llegué, aprendí rápidamente que mi trabajo también implicaría limpiar mesas, trapear pisos y lavar platos. Me tragué la comida, agarré mi tarjeta de autobús y picoteé a mi madre en la mejilla mientras salía corriendo por la puerta. Al recordar mi primer trabajo, recordar los muchos errores que cometieron y las lecciones importantes que aprendieron.
