C) make communication difficult between cultures.
D) are used more by older adults than by younger adults
Answer: A) Can be as effective as the standard form of English.
Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Mother Tongue" we can see the description of a situation where the speaker's mother is making herself clear when communicating with the boss. The speaker refers to her mother's speaking as "impeccable broken English" this expression helps to give the idea that nonstandard forms of English can be as effective as the standard form of English.
The inference suggested by this excerpt is that nonstandard forms of English can be as effective as the standard form of English. (first option)
Inference is the act or process of inferring, which means reaching a conclusion based on information you have. The information we get from the passage is that Mrs. Tan, although speaking with a "broken" English, could effectively yell at the stockbroker.
The inference we can make from that piece of information is that her nonstandard English is as effective as the standard form of English. Even if her grammar is wrong, she can still convey her ideas and feelings.
With that in mind, we can choose the first option as the correct answer for this question.
