English is not her first answer

First, English is not the mother´s native language, but she makes an effort  even though the idiom is not like that.The mother uses an idiomatic expression probably to demonstrate that she is close to her daughter ,that she understands her .She might be telling Yoyo that she knows she will get what she wants and deserves.At the same time the diomatic expression makes her more familiar with the Americans and also,  certainly, with the American dream.

The mother supports her daughter.She kows she will get as far as she wants to because she thinks she is talented.All mothers have a very high opinion of their children.

By cleverly alluding to the Declaration of Independence and by telling about his dream for his children, King shows that he is a
Sidana [21]

Answer:

"cleverly" and "is an expert"

Explanation:

"Subjective expressions" are <em>words, phrases or even sentences that makes a statement biased.</em> It is a person's personal thought about an event, a situation, another person and so on.

In the sentence above, the words "cleverly" and "is an expert" are both subjective expressions. The reader doesn't know what it means to "cleverly allude." The writer's way of cleverly alluding might be different from the reader. So, it goes the same way with the phrase, "is an expert." The writer personally thinks that King is expressing himself to be an expert. It is only a personal opinion and not a fact.

Both of the expressions are just according to the writer's feelings and thoughts.

Answer:

The words from the passage that have negative connotations

that support the author's point are, "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity"

Explanation:

From the following excerpt:

I want my food to be real food. I don't want my only option of nourishment to be chemicals disguised as food. Chemicals that could one day poison my body and lead me down a path of obesity and disease. And I want organic options to be affordably priced so everyone can afford to eat healthy. I believe that these are attainable goals if more people see the value in organic food.

The words "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity" describe a human condition that is clearly unhealthy and dangerous for everyone, this is because of the use of artificial components as ingredients of the food people consume every day.
