Which best summarizes one central idea of the passage from "Mother Tongue"?

Answer
A
All forms of the English language are meaningful and purposeful.
B
Some forms of the English language do not translate well into writing.
C
The English language would be more efficient with a Chinese structure.
D
English language proficiency can only be determined through testing.

Explanation

The passage shows that English can take different forms, including the English the author uses with her mother, and that these forms can express meaning effectively. This supports the idea that all forms of English are meaningful and purposeful. The passage does not argue that English needs a Chinese structure or that proficiency can only be measured by tests.
