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?
Answer
A
Tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” English.
B
Tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing.
C
Tan’s education in the US makes it difficult for her to understand her mother.
D
Tan winces when she describes her mother’s English as “broken.”
