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.

Answer:

Then some of the ladies began to say that it was a disgrace to the town and a bad example

He would never divulge what happened during that interview, but he refused to go back again.

Explanation:

We can infer from Evidence 1 that they are talking about Emily as later on in the text, it mentions Emily. Therefore, this is an indirect statement saying that Emily is a disgrace to the town due to her tough behaviour.

Evidence 2 shows that the Baptist saw something bad as he refuses to go back due to the horror he's seen. Therefore, both statements are inferral based but we can kind of guess from the rest of the text.

Sorry, I'm not sure this makes much sense. It did in my head at least.
