QveST [7]3 years ago
8 0

There are several examples of conflict between the Chinese and American cultures throughout the excerpt , that being said  the paragraph that shows the biggest clash is the one that leads to the end of the story, This happens because Waverly has grown up in an American place but raised to be Chinese , on the other hand her mom was born and raised in china so she has all of their traditions and learning’s in her mind and she tries to impart them into her children , as the story goes on they grow apart as Waverly becomes this chess prodigy and is supported passive-aggressively by her mom as she only says “its just luck” as Waverly wins match after match, and her mom also encourages her to go into tournaments and becomes so proud of her daughter that she goes shopping with her but buys nothing , she only goes out to show Waverly off to everyone else ,this (and several other actions done by her) makes Waverly uncomfortable  and embarrassed and she ends up running away , but realizing she´s only 9 years old and can’t live on her own , she returns home but now seeing her own mom as her enemy.

C Quick Answer

Her religious background in the main body of the what was given establishes her as a Quaker. If that's all she was, she would have been forgotten 10 years after her death. D is almost irrelevant: it is not the answer.

B is  true but the main body of the excerpt is much more concerned with why she broke "the law" and voted. 

A
That could have been put somewhere in the paragraph, but it is not a good conclusion. 

C is right because after her death, what she worked tirelessly to achieve came to pass with the passage of the 19th amendment.

The most enslaved people in the world for the longest period of time is definitely women. The 19th Amendment was part of a  needed change in world (male) thinking.

"They...<span>think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war"

This quotation sums up the main idea because it not only reinforces to the reader that they are against war, but it gives some insight into why they are against war. The people think that there is no glory to be gained in war, so they choose to just prepare a defensive army, never an offensive one. </span>
