Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
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 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.

Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of language ability?

C. Tan’s mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.

Answer:

The best option is letter B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.

Explanation:

In the essay "Mother Tongue", author Amy Tan discusses the many Englishes that shaped her into becoming who she is. Daughter of immigrant Chinese parents, Tan focuses on arguing how her mother's broken English was perceived not only by herself, but also by others. When Tan mentions the English tests she used to take at school, she shows readers how poorly those tests actually worked in terms of assessing one's ability. Her way to perceive language was different than what was expected from her. Even her mother, whose English was "broken", could see that those fill-in-the-blanks types of activities were trying to limit an idea that actually had almost endless possibilities. There were several ways to fill in those blanks, Tan and her mother both thought, but the school always seemed to expect the most bland, shallow ideas.

Answer:

B

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing. Which element of a personal narrative would be best for Nick to include next? a precise description of what the writer is witnessing when he says that he “could scarcely believe what [his] eyes were seeing” a line of dialogue in which the narrative’s subject shouts, “Oh my! I can’t believe what my eyes are seeing!” a reflection that includes specific examples of how the experience has changed the writer and an analysis of what made it memorable a detailed paragraph that helps to clearly establish the point of view from which the narrative is being told

ARTICLE MULTIPLE CHOICE / Will Mark Brainliest
She was thirty–eight or thirty–nine. She lived in a small frame house with her invalid mother and a thin, sallow, unflagging aunt, where each morning between ten and eleven she would appear on the porch in a lace–trimmed boudoir cap, to sit swinging in the porch swing until noon. After dinner she lay down for a while, until the afternoon began to cool. Then, in one of the three or four new voile dresses which she had each summer, she would go downtown to spend the afternoon in the stores with the other ladies, where they would handle the goods and haggle over the prices in cold, immediate voices, without any intention of buying.She was of comfortable people — not the best in Jefferson, but good people enough — and she was still on the slender side of ordinary looking, with a bright faintly haggard manner and dress. When she was young she had a slender, nervous body and a sort of hard vivacity which had enabled her for a time to ride upon the crest of the town's social life as exemplified by the high school party and church social period of her contemporaries while still children enough to be unclassconscious. She was the last to realize that she was losing ground; that those among whom she had been a little brighter and louder flame than any other were beginning to learn the pleasure of snobbery–male–and–retaliation–female. That was when her face began to wear that bright, haggard look. She still carried it to parties on shadowy porticoes and summer lawns, like a mask or a flag, with that bafflement of furious repudiation of truth in her eyes. One evening at a party she heard a boy and two girls, all schoolmates, talking. She never accepted another invitation.
