Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".

"Ay, Cuquita." That was her communal pet name for whoever was in her favor. "Cuquita, when I make a million, buy you your very own typewriter." (Yoyo had been nagging her mother for one just like the one her father had bought to do his order forms at home.) "Gravy on the turkey" was what she called it when someone was buttering her up. She buttered and poured. "I'll hire you your very own typist."

The answer from the options is that she does not know the proper grammar rules in English. An example in the text is that Laura says, 'buy you your very own typewriter' without the proper 'I will' preceding it, which makes it grammatically incorrect.
