The best selection is the first passage from Amy Tan’s "Mother Tongue" — the sentence observing that terms like "limited English" are just as damaging because they imply that everything, including how people view the speaker, is restricted. That excerpt calls out the prejudice that someone labeled as having limited English is presumed to be inferior in other ways compared with fluent English users, and the author disputes that assumption. The other choices do not display this kind of bias; for instance, passage 3 talks about the power of language but does not demonstrate favoritism either for or against fluent or nonfluent speakers.

In her book “ Mother Tongue “ Amy Tan describes how she used a different English for different situations. When she spoke to her mother or her friends or at school, her English differed. In the 1st excerpt the bias is expressed that speaking English differently, is bad English.

Question: Select the excerpt from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan that best describes language bias.

Answer: 1. I've seen expressions like "limited English," for instance, but they carry the same negative connotation — as though everything about the person is restricted, even how others perceive the limited-English speaker.

Listen to an excerpt from Beowulf here. Write two to three sentences explaining what you notice about the language of the poem.
ddd [2728]

Sample Response: I notice that Beowulf employs alliteration and follows a rhythm of stressed syllables. The poem's language stands apart from modern English, probably because Old English is more closely related to Germanic tongues.

Father earns money for us all change into passive voice.​
Leya [2820]

To convert the sentence into passive voice, you must change the focus from the subject performing the action to the object receiving it (in this instance, "money" is the object that is "earned").

Another important thing to remember:

When a sentence is in passive voice, it tends to imply that the action is being done indirectly. So, once the phrase is rephrased to passive, it may seem like "money" is initiating the act of "earning"; however, we know that it's actually the "father" who is responsible.

The money was earned by Father for all of us.

Hope this clarifies!
