After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” Her mother's word choice reveals that Amy Tan thinks American girls are
pretty.
smart.
fortunate.
predictable.

Answer 1

I think it's pretty-obviously talking about appearances since it says "on the outside"

Answer 2

Answer:

pretty.

Explanation:

A striking feature of Amy Tan's stories is the presentation of family conflicts involving Chinese and American culture. In this excerpt, the phrase "You want to be the same as the American girls on the outside." Shows that a Chinese girl wants to have an American appearance, so her mother says her daughter wants to look like the Americans are on the outside, that is, she wants to be as beautiful as the Americans.
