D) Tan uses the nonstandard English of her childhood with her husband because it expresses intimacy. – This is the right answer. According to this excerpt “My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English.
And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me.
It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.” Tan uses nonstandard English with her husband because she believes that such communication can increase their intimacy.
