English

Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The correct answer is 4, to emphasize a clear similarity between the Gleasons and the Lins.

Explanation: The author first describes the shallow details of the dinner party: the food, the obvious details, etc. If you don't go deeper, you'll think it is about the differences. But then, he makes the point that serving dinner for your guests is the same in both families regardless of what they serve, just to do your best and hope for it t go that way too. Therefore, the author emphasizes on the similarities among two different cultures of the feeling when eating with friends and not properly on the food or habits.

Answer:

Explanation:

During the school days of Zitkala-Sa who was a girl Indian, she was unable to speak English in her early days in school which affected her communication and understanding. Later on, in her school life, she was able to speak broken English which gives her a little bit of understanding and ability to communicate better which later resulted in her being mischievous thereby resulting in a spirit of anger and revenge.
