Answer:

<h2>The answer is "4. Tan's mother does not speak standard English, but she is able to convey the ideas behind her words."</h2>

Explanation:

Amy Tan described her mother's use of the English language as "Impeccable broken English" because <em><u>it pertains to a somewhat direct translation of what she wants to say in their native language</u></em>.

  • Tan, in her essay, started with the terms 'broken' and 'limited,' but she thought that it diminished the value or belittled the person using the language.
  • Because English is not her first language, she is unable to speak standard English fluently. However, even if Tan's mother was using a broken English language, she managed to convey the message she wanted.
  • People around her can understand what she's trying to say. And this is what matters the most.

Why did it take Equiano so many months to travel from his home village to the Atlantic coast?
Grace [21]

Answer: D. because he was sold as a slave several times along the way.

Olaudah Equiano was a writer and abolitionist from the Igbo region of Nigeria (although his birthplace is sometimes disputed). He was enslaved as a child and taken to the Caribbean. He earned his freedom in 1766 and moved to London, where he became an activist in the anti-slave movement. He published his autobiography <em>"The Interesting Narrative of Life of Olaudah Equiano"</em> in 1789, which helped pass the British Slave Trade Act of 1807. This act abolished the African slave trade.

Are these words antonyms or synonyms? trash-rubbish antonyms synonyms​
LiRa [457]

Answer: Synonyms

Explanation: Antonyms are words opposite in meaning to another. Synonyms are words or phrases that mean exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language. Trash is defined as discarded matter; refuse- and rubbish is defined as waste material; refuse or litter. It is evident that the two words are very similar in meaning so they are synonyms.

Softa [21]

Between lines 9-19 we can see that the boatswain has little tolerance for passengers and wants them to be away from their place of work. This is evident when he continues to send passengers back to their cabins and further states that that ship does not carry anyone he loves more than himself.

We can deduce that Alonso, Antonio and Gonzalo are men of great courage, since they do not repress themselves with the boatswain's attitudes, do not fear death by drowning (although they would rather die on dry land) and are very loyal to their king, since they decide continue with him in that moment of eminent death.
