Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue" Those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as "Even though
Tom was
Mary thought he was ." And the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland
combinations of thoughts, for example, "Even though Tom was foolish, Mary thought he was ridiculous."
Well, according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what Tom could have been and what Mary
might have thought of him. So I never did well on tests like that.
Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an
element of language ability?

-Tans mother would not be able to answer a question like the one describe in the excerpt
-Tans mother would think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt
-Tans mother did not allow her to take tests with questions like the one described in excerpt
-Tans mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt
