Select the correct text in the passage.
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?
1. 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.
2. Soclologists 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
3. 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
4. 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.
