Answer:

Thematic statement: Immigrants must be respected for the way they have the courage to live in another country and learn a new language, even if they do not speak it as fluently as possible.

Rhetorical strategy that creates pathos: Amy Tan saw her mother being disrespected by her "broken" English several times and it hurt her feelings about the country that should be her home, in addition to changing her view of language.

Explanation:

A thematic statement is a statement, an interpretation and a position on the subject of a text. In "mother tongue" we can see several themes, among them, disrespect for immigrants for the way they speak. Amy shows that her mother was disrespected several times because of her "broken" English. This generated shame and discomfort that often changed Amy's perception of several things.

A rhetorical strategy that creates pathos, is an affirmation that stimulates sentimentality, shows experience and forces emotions in the reader. In other words, it reinforces the emotional and deals with a more personal and profound point in the narrative.

Add or remove commas correctly college Students are to be offered year long work experience positions in developing countries un
Vesna [10]

Answer:

College students are to be offered year-long work experience positions in developing countries under plans to link the UK’s domestic policies with parts of the nation’s foreign aid budget. "Those who are lucky enough to be selected," says Janice Geller, a spokeswoman for the Department of International Finance, "will have the chance to work as apprentice engineers, project managers and accountants. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and there will be more than 1,000 openings in the first year alone.”

Explanation:

As was asked in the question above, the paragraph presented was revised and edited, adding the necessary scores to provide a correct text. The scores allow the reading to be done in a fluid way, adding the necessary pauses and separating the citations from the remainder of the text. Without the points the text would be impossible to be understood correctly and therefore it is necessary to score it.
