Question: Select the excerpt from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan that best describes language bias.

Answer: 1. I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions of the limited-English speaker.

The question is asking us to select the excerpt from "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan that best describes language bias and the answer is that it is the first excerpt " I've heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people's perceptions of the limited-English speaker.". The bias being described here is that people with limited English would also be in other ways inferior to fluent English speakers, and the excerpt criticises this statement. Other options don't shor any bias, although 3. for example discusses the power of language - but it does not show a bias in favior or against fluent or non-fluent speakers.
