Answer:
"she expressed<em> them </em>imperfectly”
Explanation:
The speaker is not complying with concord. Her reference is ,realised by <em>them</em>, ambiguous. <em>Them</em> lacks any reference if we move backwards in the excerpt. We may assume <em>them</em> refers to what she had to say,but <em>it</em> shoudl have been used , instead. However, <em>them</em> may refer to <em>thoughts</em> that comes later in the excerpt:"She expressed<em> them</em> imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.", in these sentences ,which are not coherently linked , we infer that <em>them</em> is referring to <em>thoughts.</em>
I think it is French, because they say things that sound backwards to us, we say "The blue car" whereas they would say "The car blue"
It shows that older people often ignore or minimize children's feelings
