C. The college of Ingolstadt
Answer:
He wanted three things out of the class: to learn a new skill, to make new friends, and to develop a different mindset.
Explanation:
<u>Three infinitives</u> (to learn, to make, to develop) explain the object <em>three things</em>; that's parallelism, i.e. use of identical grammatical construction.
The other options use both gerund(s) and infinitive(s). Using different constructions cannot create parallelism; that's why those sentences do not contain correct parallel structure.
The poem is dedicated to the author's father who was tortured and imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.
In the first stanza of the poem, the author describes that how his father was a school principal and one day he caught a carp and everybody in the school tasted it. The poem emphasizes the importance in Chinese culture where it represents perseverance, luck, and success. Paradoxically, Wang writes that her son is named Carp and yet he died an early death.
The carp also represents a loss of innocence and the flawed nature of people with the lines "they had tasted the carp". This stanza shows how a good memory turned into a painful one.
