Answer:
The option which best summarizes the central idea of the excerpt is:
Non standard forms of English are valid
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from Mother Tongue.
Mother tongue is the very first language or the native language of an individual that he or she learns from childhood.
The central idea of the excerpt suggests that no matter how different a person’s English Language sounds, it still remains valid and that all forms of English Language are meaningful.
Here, the speaker speaks up about her mother’s English Language to support the idea that it is her truest form of expression, and that it was the language that first made sense to her and helped her interpret the world.
The anwser is A: That like Polybus, the prophecy is dead and buried.
By saying that the prophetic oracles were worthless, the speaker demonstrates his complete dislike and disregard for them. And to emphasize his opinion, he adds that Polybus has taken them to Hades (in older Greek mhyts this the abode of the dead,where all mortals go when they die), which is a place where he already is.

Answer:
Rags to riches -> Cinderella
Overcoming the monster -> Hansel and Gretel
Tragedy -> Romeo and Juliet
Fourth Option -> The Importance of Being Earnest
Explanation:
Cinderella is about a girl who starts off as a maid. This would be the 'rags'. She then becomes a princess. This would be the 'riches'.
Hansel and Gretel is about young siblings who escape an evil witch. This means they 'overcame the monster'.
Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers who reach certain doom. This would be seen as 'tragedy'.
[I don't see the fourth one, but by process of elimination, you can only put The Importance of Being Earnest there.]
