Answer:

The effect of changing her mother’s emotional language to calmer language is that they could be more willing and understanding with her if she’s not yelling at them and using a more professional tone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as if you were the one receiving the call from Mrs. Tan, you would not want to be yelled at or be accused of lying.
