Yet some of my friends tell me they understand 50 percent of what my mother says. Some say they understand 80 to 90 percent. Some say they understand none of it, as if she were speaking pure Chinese. But to me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It’s my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world. Which best summarizes the central idea of the excerpt
Answer:

Here, the speaker speaks up about her mother’s English Language to support the idea that it is her truest form of expression, and that it was the language that first made sense to her and helped her interpret the world.

B. Did you have fun on your summer vacation?
C. Where did you spend your summer vacation?
D. What movies did you see over your summer vacation?

Explanation:
The third type of question you can ask is an open-ended question.
An open-ended question does not lead to a specific response. You can get a lot of information with this type of question. It is also useful when starting a conversation.
Here is an example of an open-ended question.

Types of Questions
To help clarify your understanding, there are different ways to ask questions.
Closed questions lead to a specific response that must be answered with a simple yes or no. The following is an example of a closed question.
Did you play a piece by Chopin at your recital?
This is not the most effective type of question to ask if you want more information than can be provided in a simple yes or no answer. You often need to ask follow-up questions after you get an answer to a closed question.

Making the Most of Mucus
Just the name itself will make you giggle. It's a great word that conjures visions of slime and
unpleasantness. It is perhaps the most annoying part of having a cold or allergies. Mucus, however,
plays a very important role in defense of our bodies and our health. In fact, it's high time mucus got
a lot more respect.
First, there are some amazing facts about mucus that are worthy of respect. Humans produce
about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not. Bony fish and some invertebrates
(snails or slugs) also have mucus cells on the outside of their body. This external mucus creates a
protective coating that prevents predators' toxins from doing harm. Humans produce mucus to
protect our stomachs, our lungs, and several other systems.
We tend to not like mucus because it is a considered a symptom or sign that something is wrong.
We usually only see it when we are sick, and so we tend to dislike it. According to Michael M.
Johns, III, MD, however, "mucus is incredibly important for our bodies." Johns, an assistant
professor at Emory University, calls mucus "the oil in the engine" of our bodies. Without mucus, our
engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop working properly.
engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop WURING prope
Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick. It lines the tissues in
your mouth, your nose, throat, and lungs. It also is crucial in protecting your digestive system.
Mucus puts a protective coating over the surfaces of these tissues, keeping them moist. Most of
the time we don't notice mucus is making our lives better. It does its job quietly, making everything
run smoothly, keeping our inner tissues soft and flexible enough to fight off invaders.
Occasionally, though our mucus-making membranes go into overdrive. If you eat a hot pepper, your
mucus membranes in your mouth and throat start producing extra mucus to protect you. If you
come into contact with pollen, you may get a runny nose and start sneezing and coughing. When
these things happen, your mucus systems start making more fluids to wash away the irritating
particles. Mucus also has some antibodies that increase our ability to fight off bacteria and viruses.
It's hard to appreciate what is essentially slime, but we have mucus for some very good reasons. It
helps to keep us healthy and lets us know when our bodies are under attack. We would be wise to
respect what our bodies do to keep us safe. So the next time you find yourself reaching for a tissue,
remember mucus is your friend and ally.
What's in a Name?
Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also
because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly.
Other words for this powerfully important hurnan-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang
words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power,
simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's
been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty)
and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are
relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English
word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but
has been in use since the 1890s.
Which of the following correctly summarizes the main point of the “what’s in a name?” Section
A. Mucus has a good name and a interesting synonyms.
B. Mucus should make more people laugh.
C. Words for mucus is ideal for what it describes.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!! After reading "A Rose for Emily" describe how this short story is reflective of Modernist literature?
Answer:
The story reveals modernist traits in its temporal experimentation, symbolization of the departure from the Old South and the move towards modernity, and the questionable sexuality surrounding its characters. modernist literature.
Explanation:
Tension between the modern and the old, specifically, the Old South, pervades "A Rose for Emily" from beginning to end.
From the very first scene in the story, Miss Emily's house, which once was on an upper-class street, is now surrounded with "modern" industrial buildings, warehouses, and Miss Emily's house looks like a decayed structure whose prime has long since departed.
Modernism comes into the story with a vengeance when a deputation of the town government arrives at Miss Emily's house to tell her that she needs to pay her taxes. Unfortunately for the modern part of the town, the Old South raises its head (in the form of Miss Emily) and tells them Miss Emily has no taxes--that they had been remitted permanently by Colonel Sartoris years ago. This very modern attempt fails utterly to defeat the Old South.
Later, when Miss Emily buys rat poison, ostensibly to get rid of "rats," the pharmacist tells her that (modern) laws require him to know why she is asking for poison, she simply looks him in the eye, and she wins another war between modernism and the Old South.
During the only incident in which Miss Emily actually does something "modern"--allowing herself to be courted not only by a blue-collar worker but a Yankee--the townspeople adopt very Old South attitudes and actually try to bring in relatives to talk some sense into Miss Emily in order to get her to act like the aristocratic southern lady that she still is. This also fails completely, another defeat, but this time the conflict is flipped on its side, with Miss Emily fighting to be modern,and the town trying to keep the Old South alive.
The town, in essence, represents to forces of modernism in conflict with the Old South, and Miss Emily, most of whose actions are relentlessly Old South, defeats the forces of modernism until her death.
