Question
read the passage from amy tan’s
ules of the game.\ my parents made many concessions to allow me to practice. one time i complained that the bedroom i shared was so noisy that i couldn’t think. thereafter, my brothers slept in a bed in the living room facing the street. i said i couldn’t finish my rice; my head didn’t work right when my stomach was too full. i left the table with half - finished bowls and nobody complained. but there was one duty i couldn’t avoid. i had to accompany my mother on saturday market days when i had no tournament to play. my mother would proudly walk with me, visiting many shops, buying very little. \this my daughter waverly jong,\ she said to whoever looked her way. one day after we left a shop i said under my breath, \i wish you wouldn’t do that, telling everybody i’m your... which statement best explains the motivation for the narrator’s mother to introduce her daughter to everyone they meet? ○ she wants to adhere to the customs of the chinese community. ○ she wants to satisfy people’s curiosity about her daughter. ○ she wants to share in her daughter’s accomplishments. ○ she wants to exert control over her daughter.
To solve this, we analyze the mother's action of introducing her daughter ("This is my daughter Waverly Jong") and the daughter's reaction ("I wish you wouldn't do that, telling everybody I'm your..."). The mother's action of introducing her daughter to others she meets (during the Saturday market walks) and the daughter's desire for the mother to stop suggests the mother wants to share her daughter's accomplishments (since Waverly is a chess player with a tournament, and the mother is proud). Let's eliminate other options:
- "adhere to Chinese community customs" – the passage doesn't focus on community customs adherence.
- "satisfy people’s curiosity" – there's no indication people are curious; it's the mother's pride.
- "exert control" – the introduction isn't about control, but sharing pride in her daughter's achievements.
So the correct option is the one about sharing in her daughter’s accomplishments.
