I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. Which phrase from the excerpt uses informal English?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The last sentence is very formal. It does not contain the first person pronoun (I or me) which is one of the marks of informal writing. Having given you the answer, may I say  that question is almost totally irrelevant. I do not mean that you are at fault for having asked it. You are only asking for an answer, and that was given.

What I really mean to say is that I hope you get to read more of Amy Tan's remarks about her mother's English. They are astonishing observations and should be required reading by every student taking English or American Literature.

Thank you for posting this question. I didn't there was more to Tan's essay about her mother's English that I didn't know about, and I'm glad to know there is more.

Answers

Hi!

The answer is C. What Churchill accomplished with his speech was  addressing the audience's concerns by outlining ways Britain will overcome Germany.

Churchill gave a speech where he had to addressed his country's fears of going to war. In his speech, he made sure to reassure them that they were doing the right thing by going to war, as well as assure them that Britan would have no problem overcoming Germany. Through this speech, he convinced people that Britain could overcome Germany and he got the poeple's support.

C. he addressed audience concerns by outlining ways Britain will overcome Germany.

Further Explanation:

Churchill was a prolific British statesman who spearheaded the British war effort during the Second half of the second world war, taking over the former minister Clement Attlee. Churchill had predicted the rise of Hitler and Germany’s aggression even before the World War commenced. He had seen significant events during the First World War and was convinced that Germany was aiming to oust Britain from her position of being an economic and naval power. Germany’s constant colonial expansion alarmed British politicians, and Winston Churchill was always suspicious of German motives, even if they would extend a hand of co-operation. Churchill was especially critical of Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement, as he believed that the Germans were just putting up a façade of peace with the Czechs, their real motive was to expand German territory by annexing the whole of Czechoslovakia.

Churchill was obviously concerned at the dwindling resources of Great Britain, but being the British premier, he could not let a downfall of Britain’s democratic structures that it had preserved diligently for centuries. The most viable option was to utilize the vast colonial resources that were at Britain’s disposal, committing them to the war effort.  Churchill was aware that Germany could be defeated with the combined resources of Russia and the USA. Thus, he began his tenure by swiftly taking over the war cabinet, a small group of ministers who were empowered with the decisions to take without the approval of fellow Parliamentarians. This allowed for swift policymaking, with regards to fiscal and military policies, that garnered the British troops to victory.
