Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like other

s, I have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. Which best summarizes the central idea in the excerpt? Tan is troubled by the way her mother uses the English language. Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English. Tan has difficulty trying to explain what she means when she writes in English. Tan has found that the English language is lacking in descriptive word choices.

Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English.

Tan says that using the words "broken" or "fractured" to describe her mother's English makes it seem "as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness." Even though her mother's English may not be perfect, she doesn't feel that it is broken. It is simply different. Her ideas are not fractured, her thoughts are not broken. They are just not expressed within the complex grammatical structure that English uses.

6. (a) Interpret What does King mean when he instructs the audience to
STatiana [176]

When King said "physical strength with soul strength" he meant people not to use physical strength to achieve their goals, but to use soul strength to stay motivated.

This is connected with the idea that "undeserved suffering is redeeming", as it shows that with the strength of the soul, people can withstand the injustices that they alleviate until they manage to resolve them.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • King was an activist and the greatest leader in the struggle for civil rights.
  • He encouraged a black offer to fight for their rights and not conform to the injustices they suffer.
  • He believed that these injustices would pay off in the future, but it would be necessary for people to fight for them to cease to exist.

However, he stated that this fight should be done with the strength of the soul, that is, with the strength of will and resilience, but that physical strength and violence should not be used.
