Answer

Brief Explanations:

The question is about identifying the text from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" that shows admiration for her mother's broken English. We need to analyze each excerpt:

  • Excerpt 1: Describes a situation where the mother is shouting at her boss in broken English. This shows the mother's assertiveness and the narrator's presence (sitting there red - faced and quiet, and my mother...). It doesn't directly show admiration.
  • Excerpt 2: Talks about sociologists and linguists' views on language development. It is more of a general statement about language in immigrant families and not about the narrator's admiration for her mother's language.
  • Excerpt 3: Mentions that the narrator has described the mother's English as "broken" but then says "Language tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts". This clearly shows the narrator's appreciation and admiration for the mother's language despite it being called "broken".
  • Excerpt 4: Talks about the narrator beginning to write stories using the "Englishes" she grew up with. It is more about the narrator's writing inspiration rather than direct admiration for the mother's language at the moment of speaking.
