Answer:

The author appeals to the senses of smell and touch in "Two Kinds".

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by author Amy Tan. The narrator is Jing-mei, who tells us the story of how her Chinese mother once decided she should be a child prodigy. After testing Jing-mei on several subjects only to be disappointed, her mother finally decided her daughter should take piano lessons with Mr. Chong. The piano teacher lived with his mother, Old Lady Chong.

To describe Lady Chong, the author uses imagery, a literary device that consists of appealing to the five senses. Imagery helps readers visualize and feel what is being described, which helps the author to establish the mood and, consequently, get an emotional response from the reader. In "Two Kinds", the author appeals to smell and touch as she describes Old Lady Chong:

<em> She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants, and her fingers felt like a dead person's, like an old peach I once found in the back  of the refrigerator: its skin just slid off the flesh when I picked it up. </em>

Thanks to this description, the reader is able to picture Lady Chong's smell and the touch of her skin as he/she reads. It conveys the impression the narrator herself - a 9-year-old girl - had of lady Chong.

Which statement about short story is most true
fiasKO [112]
<span>The statement which is true about a short story is that it uses narrative techniques (e.g. plot, characters, setting, and conflict). A short story is similar to any other story - the only difference is that it is much shorter in length. It may use logical explanation, or it may not - it really depends on the story. The second option (the one about dramatic elements) refers to plays, not short stories. It doesn't use nonfiction, because short stories are fiction.</span>
