Read the passage. In it, the mother misuses the English idiom “It takes two to tango.” What does her language show about her as a character? She has picked up expressions and uses them like a native English speaker. She is at ease in her new home. She is embarrassed to speak. She has trouble communicating clearly in English.

Answer:

She has trouble communicating clearly in English.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mother speaks bad english because she is an immigrant and she is still learning the english language, idioms are often misused by new speakers because they don´t have a literal meaning they make a reference to another situation, and it can be confusing if you are only learning by repetition, and you don´t detect them unless you are actually very used to the language.
