Answer:
Tan discusses her mother’s English to support the idea that the language of one’s childhood is a person’s deepest, truest form of expression.
Explanation:
It's important here to think about how Tan is speaking about her mother's tongue. Is she speaking about it in a positive or negative way? Is she embarrassed or ashamed of her mother's English? Her tone is positive and not embarrassed. Any option that goes against this should be eliminated. She's also not saying anything about learning the English language or how it has developed. She's merely showing that her mother's English is not always easily understood by others, but that she understands it. It is what she grew up with and the way in which she learned the world around her. She says that it "was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world." We learn language from our parents, and in our childhood, it's our parents who taught us how to express ourselves.
