Answer:

The sentence that shows Waverly is at odds with her mother is

C) Her black men advanced across the plane, slowly marching to each successive level as a single unit.

Explanation:

Waverly is the main character and the narrator in the short story "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan. She is the young daughter of a Chinese immigrant who lives in America. Waverly is clever and gifted, having become a successful chess player at a very young age. She and her mother are different, unable to see eye-to-eye. Even though she knows her mother is proud of her and wants her to be successful, Waverly does not appreciate the way her mother shows her pride to others. She feels as if she is being used, displayed like a trophy.

After painfully revealing her discomfort toward her mother's actions, the two have a brief tense moment. Waverly knows her mother is an intelligent woman. She has learned valuable life lessons from her already. She knows her mother's power lies in self-control and silence. Waverly sees their relationship now as she sees a game of chess, only this one cannot be won. Her mother knows which moves to make, and Waverly feels powerless. That feeling as to their being at odds is expressed in the sentence:

Her black men advanced across the plane, slowly marching to each successive level as a single unit.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS QUESIONS PLEASEEE
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Plot structure can be vital in properly interpreting a passage.

Explanation:

Should the passage be disorganized the reader can be expected to be left confused. Should the passage be organized, you can expect the read to follow the story easily. Most, if not all stories should follow the routine exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and finally climax plot structure. Should this order be rearranged it could easily confuse the reader and lead to an uninteresting and puzzling story.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Read the excerpt from a short story.
larisa86 [58]

Correct answer: The word choice darkens the tone.

Evidenced by the use of specific language to describe the surroundings.

If the narrator choice was to use generic adjectives, <em>this would make the reader pay less attention and to feel disconnected</em> from the environment.

When an accurate representation of what is happening is offered to the reader, <em>is more natural</em> for him, <em>to get caught up in the narration. </em>

This build-up goes unnoticed, but unconsciously, the reader is setting every aspect of the scene in his mind, following every detail making him wonder if something is about to happen.

Example: the word "flickering", specially reflects this.
