Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Tan explains that, when she was a child, she believed that her mother was not intelligent because of her poor use of English. She uses this experience to put emphasis in the fact that she was mistaken.

Now, as an adult, she understands that her mother is, indeed, very intelligent, and that the use of a language does not reflect a person's overall knowledge.
