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.
In writing a sentence correctly, the following technicalities should be considered.
(1) The information should be clear
(2) Use transitional words
(3) Cautiously use subordinate clause
(4) construct the sentence in an active voice
(5) construct the sentence with the use of active verbs
(6) follow grammar rules- that includes diction and spelling. Avoid using highfalutin words.
In the case of the above sentence choice A is incorrect because instead of using the adverb "there", it had used "their" which is a pronoun. The use of "their" is only applicable if there is an object of possession. Choice C is also incorrect since the word "manageable" is spelled as "managable" which is technically wrong. Lastly, Choice D is incorrect because the words "calendar" and "manageable" are spelled as "calender" and " managable", respectively. The three declarative sentences did not follow the grammar rules.
Therefore, the answer is the second sentence: "This delivery calendar is only manageable if there are two of us." because it had followed the grammatical rules on sentence construction.
Im pretty sure thats asking a question about your opinion so there isnt really a way for people to give you the answer
