Yoda · Answer 2

The value of our words is not changed by our ability to use language.

Explanation:

IN mother tongue by Amy Tam one of the most explored things throughout the text is the fact that people often missjudge other people by the way they speak, and how that is unfair and unaccurate, so that rules out the last option, and the same for the first one, so the answer is the value of our words is not chaged by our ability to use language, cause how we learnt to talk and the words we know do not reflect the value of what we say and have to offer to the society.
