Amy tan's mother's language variety played a significant role in shaping tan's identity. which excerpt from her reflective essay "mother tongue" shows her admiration and appreciation of her mother's broken english?
and sure enough, the following week, there we were in front of this astonished stockbroker, and i was sitting there red-faced and quiet, and my mother, the real mrs. tan, was shouting at his boss in her impeccable broken english.
sociologists and linguists probably will tell you that a person's developing language skills are more influenced by peers than by family. but i do think that the language spoken in the family, especially in immigrant families which are more insular, plays a large role in shaping the language of the child.
lately, i've been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as "broken" or "fractured" english.
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”. . 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.

The answer to your question is D.

A and B are irrelevant in representing the admiration she has for her mother's style of English.

C and D are a bit tricky. D would be the best choice. D elaborates on why she thinks about her style of english and explains how it was nice.  

Remark

It is so much D, that there is almost no point in describing why it can't be A B or C. Amy Tan is an excellent writer, so that anything says about the nature of language should be read carefully and taken very seriously. What she learned from the way her mother spoke, was powerful even though limited. It was graceful although if you are a linguist ( a scholar of languages), you wouldn't know where to start in telling what was wrong with her syntax (the way she put language together). What Amy Tan saw went far beyond all the grammar rules her mother didn't know, or didn't use if she did know them. She had  a poetry in her that would be hard to find anywhere else. She had something her daughter's quick ear was able to praise because her mother had the gift of knowing and the gift of a wisdom that cannot be learned anywhere but by living a life deeply.

The other three answers don't convey the marvelous heart felt praise the daughter gives her mother.  If you read nothing else carefully tonight, read the fourth answer again.  

Thanks for posting. This was a real joy to discover.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.  

a solenoid is created by wrapping a l = 90 m long wire around a hollow tube of diameter d = 4.5 cm.   the wire diameter is d = 0.9 mm.   the solenoid wire is then connected to a power supply so that a current of i = 9 a flows through the wire.

randomized variablesl = 90 m

d = 4.5 cm

d = 0.9 mm

i = 9 a                                          

write an expression for the number of turns, n, in the solenoid. you do not need to take into account the diameter of the wire in this calculation.

calculate the number of turns, n, in the solenoid.

write an expression for the length of the solenoid (l2) in terms of the diameter of the hollow tube d.

calculate the length of the solenoid (l2)   in meters.

calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid in teslas.
