Answer :
The following sentence best summarizes one central idea of the passage from "Mother Tongue" :
A.The expression of experience through language is more powerful when different forms of English are accepted.
Tan has a firm belief that nonstandard forms of English are legitimate languages in their own right.
Excerpts from the text that support this answer are :
1. "But to me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It's my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world."
2. "-I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English I spoke to my mother, which for lack of a better term might be described as "simple"; the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as "broken"; my translation of her Chinese, which could certainly be described as "watered down"; and what I imagined to be her translation of her Chinese if she could speak in perfect English, her internal language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure. I wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts."

- resolution is an ending part of the story
Now, in the given passage, we get to know about Ashley's characteristics, the way she spends her days or maybe start drawing some conclusions about her. We don't know what will happen next, only some information about the character. So, the best answer would be that this passage is an introduction.
<span>In Doctor Faustus's obituary, you could include that he became a Doctor at the University of Wittenburg due to his intelligence, that he had already excelled in every subject (law, medicine, etc.) so he began to experiment with magic, and that he devoted his last days to giving a speech about his foolish pact with Lucifer, seemingly warning other scholars against his own faults. </span>
