Answer:
A noun clause that is functioning as the subject of the sentence Option C: 'Whoever travels the Pelly River' follows in the footsteps of the explorer Robert Campbell.
Explanation:
A sentence can have independent clauses and dependent clauses. Dependent clause is the noun clause of the sentence which can act as subject, object or complement of verb in a sentence. Noun clause is the dependent part of the sentence which functions as a noun. It is usually introduced in a sentence by the conjunction that. It can also be introduced by other conjunctions like if, whether, whoever, who, where, when, what etc.
Option B and D noun clauses are acting as objects of the sentence. In Option D "Whoever travels the Pelly River" emphasizes the subject of the sentence. If we ask the question "Who follows in the footsteps", Answer is 'Whoever travels the Pelly River'. So, it is acting as the subject of the verb 'follows' in the sentence.
The line in the above excerpt from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" that shows that Tan changes her language depending on the audience is:
“The talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club, and it was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room.”
Amy Tan's essay “Mother Tongue” is about the difficulties that a child has to face if it grows in a family in which its parents speak 'limited English.' Amy's mother was among such parent who was unable to speak fluent and proper English. It is through the language that the person is judged by others. Amy was brought up by her mother and because of this, her writing style was much influenced by the language spoken at her home. Her mother taught her that a person's perception of the world is influenced by the language spoken at home.
