The paragraph from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan helps to develop the author's idea that using complex words does not necessarily make one's lanuage clearer or more understandable. (Option 2).

In the paragraph the author mentions she wanted to prove her mastery of the language and how well she wrote. She exemplifies this with a line from her first draft of The Joy Luck Club: “That was my mental quandary in its nascent state.” She then states the line is terrible and she can barely pronounce it herself. The use of complex words like "quandary" and "nascent" may show her mastery of the language but it certainly does not make it clearer or more understandable for readers.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. Regretful

Explanation:

-Nostalgic is when someone misses a moment from the past.

-Hopeful is when you expect something good for the future.

-Regretful is when you feel bad for something you did.

-Excited is whe you feel happy about something.

According to these definitions and the passage, the answer is that the narrator's tone is regretful because he/she had to leave Hidaya and couldn't go to a public school with friends because his/her Mom and Dad insisted that had to go to a private school.

The other answers are not correct because the narrator is talking about the past, not the future. Also, he is not talking about missing something and doesn't feel happy.

In the world’s rainforest, nearly 1 hectare is destroyed per second. This adds up to nearly 31 million hectares per year; the size bigger than Poland. As a result, the environment is being damaged: 137 species of wildlife are becoming extinct per year. Humans are benefiting from this destruction by making a profit off logging and making cheap products.
