Math is precise; there is only one correct answer. whereas, for me at least, the answers on english tests were always a judgment call, a matter of opinion and personal experience. those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as, "even though tom was ___, mary thought he was ___." and the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland combinations of thoughts, for example, "even though tom was shy, mary thought he was charming," with the grammatical structure "even though" limiting the correct answer to some sort of semantic opposites, so you wouldn't get answers like, "even though tom was foolish, mary thought he was ridiculous." well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what tom could have been and what mary might have thought of him. so i never did well on tests like that. Based on this passage, which of the following statements is an accurate inference?

tan enjoys english, so she resists the fact that she is gifted at math.
tan believes that english tests are unfair to nonnative english speakers.
tan is equally embarrassed at her mother’s inability to do math.
tan blames her mother for her own problems with writing and speaking.
