This person is a New Yorker. She grew up speaking Chinese with her family and learned to speak and read English once she went to school. Her school never offered Chinese classes and, therefore, she doesn't know how to read or write in Chinese (English and Chinese have different writing systems). Her life and her values are that of an average American 20-year old, but she also fully embraces the Chinese traditions, placing great value on the family hierarchy and submitting to the larger needs of the family. She also celebrates both American and Chinese holidaysThe following combination describes this person best:

a. monolingual monocultural biliterate

b. bilingual bicultural biliterate

c. bilingual bicultural monoliterate
