Select the correct text in the passage.
Which phrase in the passage contains sensory language that relates to the sense of smell?
The fire crackled and the smoke rose in plumes, mingling with the night air. The sweet, smoky scent of toasted marshmallows found her nose
as she licked melted chocolate from her fingertips. It was a good night for camping.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." 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. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
