Based on this passage, which statement is true about se-jin and yanus?

the boat bobbed and slapped against the water as it moved farther out to sea. yanus looked at the sky; it was dark and foreboding. the wind was picking up. he gripped the side of the boat as they rolled through rough waves.

"se-jin, what do you think of that sky? looks like a storm's coming in."

"yanus," se-jin said, ducking beneath the sail and ignoring him, "hand me my rod. here's where we'll find the big fish." yanus did as he was told, but his eyes were on the horizon.

se-jin cast his line into the distance and began singing. his singing would only stop once a bass or a cod came slapping wet into the boat. yanus sat and stared at the darkness steadily stretching across the sky, darkening the water beneath it. suddenly, se-jin's rod nearly bent in half.

"whoa! " he yelled as he leaned back and started reeling. "yanus, get a look at the tug on this line! this fish's a fighter! yanus, you best believe i'm going to—"

se-jin's voice was cut off by a clap of thunder that sounded like a window shattering. lightning lit the sky. the storm had arrived. se-jin cut the line with his penknife, releasing his prized catch, and fastened the rod back in place. he ducked back beneath the sail to turn the boat around. waves washed over the stern as the two men leaned to sharpen their turn back toward land. yanus held his breath as though he was already underwater.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
