Question

Read the following passage:

People assumed that Grandmother didn't know English, but
she could understand and speak it well. She was just
proud. I tried to convince her that no one cared about her
accent, but she disagreed. I told her this wasn't like back
home, where she would be looked down upon for any little
grammatical error. But she didn't believe me. She had lived
too long in a country where one's speech reflected his or
her status.

Answer 1

C It illustrates two different attitudes toward language and a

person's image.

Answer 2

C. It illustrates two different attitudes toward language and a person's image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not only does this passage illustrate two different attitudes – the one that the author has as well as the grandmother’s one, but it also shows how the difference in attitudes is determined by different cultures.

The grandmother embodies the homeland’s attitude, as she’d spent her entire life in a country that judged people for their choice of words, while the author’s attitude is a more liberal and accepting one, unconscious of this type of social exclusion.
