<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The narrator wants her parents to adore her. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the text, the narrator wants to be adored by her parents. Therefore, because of this, she has many imaginations and believes within no time, she will be perfect and get what she has always wanted. She wants to be at the top of everything where she will not be begging for anything from her parents but get it herself without even making a request to them.

Therefore this is the reason why she works and she wants to impress her parents, beyond that she wanted to prove that she does not need to be a prodigy.

Answer:

The narrator wants her parents to adore her.

Explanation:

In Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds", the protagonist Jing-mei Woo tries so hard to win the approval of her parents. She wanted nothing more than to make her parents proud of what she is doing and would do everything to try to impress them.

In the given passage from the story, Jing-mei is talking about how she imagined her "<em>mother and father adore</em>" her, and "<em>would never feel the need to sulk for anything"</em>. She wanted to make her parents so impressed with her and to be on their approving side. This intrinsic motivation to try to appease them conflicts with her want to be accepted as she is. Her mother's high expectations of her compels June (Jing-mei) to try to do justice while conflicting with her need to assert her own identity.

Answer:The story of Harrison Bergeron is enticingly different than any other. It opened my mind to new ideas and changed the way I think about issues and situations. In the movie and short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” the characters live in a much different world than the one we live in. In Harrison Bergeron, the American government was overthrown for the purpose of removing competition. This means everybody is now paid the same, their grades need to be average, but most importantly, they are required to wear bands on their heads that protect them from thinking creatively. These kinds of ideas, ones that go outside of the norm, conflict the government. Despite this, Harrison Bergeron excels in all his classes and begins to question his everyday life. Eventually he learns that the people that work for the government don’t wear bands and are allowed to compete freely. After hearing real, divine music and seeing dazzling art, he realizes that the people living in America are missing competition as an imperative part of their lives. As a result, he tries to disrupt their boring cycle of being by broadcasting the music and art on television, prompting people to take off their bands.

According to Miller, why has The Crucible become his most-produced play?
matrenka [14]

According to Arthur Miller, <em>The Crucible</em> has become his most-produced play because most people see the story as their own. It is about witch-hunt in Salem and the trials that took place there in 1692. Miller compares in the play these witch trials with the ones that took place in the U.S.  People feared being accused of having communist ideas by the McCarthyism without proper evidence. There was an anti-communist rage that reached tremendous proportions, there was not just a hunt for subversive people, but for ideas. Miller himself was prosecuted and convicted. <em>The Crucible</em> is one of the surviving fragments of the McCarthy period.

In a small military compound in Nevada, two soldiers plot
kogti [31]

Answer:

OD. The tank was developed illegally.

Explanation:

The outcome of any story depends on the circumstances that lead up to the crucial stages of the plot. And these outcomes mainly consists of the consequences or results of all the different directions or aspects of the plot.

In the given scenario of the two soldiers and their plan to try to steal the 'secretly developed' illegal high-tech tank, the <u>most important aspect of the story in determining the outcome is that the tank was illegally developed</u>. This is because, no matter who tried to steal it or what the purpose of the stealing was, the fact that it was developed illegally will eventually be the crucial aspect of how the outcome will be, considering neither the government nor anyone knows about it (except the two soldiers and the engineer and the ones on the base camp).

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
