When we look at the prompt, we can see that even though the
poem Corey read was about inequality, the content within the poem seems to be
only descriptions—descriptions of the poor girl, the dog, and their
interaction. There is no mention of bias,
and it is stated that Corey noticed a lack of judgement on the author’s behalf
toward things. The poem is interpreted
by Corey as pure observation. With that
in mind, it can be said that the poem displays characteristics of naturalism,
which is a literary movement that focuses strictly on what can be seen, nothing
more. Thus, the proper response is “C.
Naturalism.”

Explanation:
Suyuan is the narrator's mother in Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds". She is a Chinese woman who decides to make a child prodigy out of her daughter Jing-mei, sort of a Chinese Shirley Temple. She quizzes her on several subjects, changes her hair to make it curly and then short, and finally makes her take piano lessons. At first, Jing-mei is excited about the idea of being a prodigy. She likes to picture all the attention she'll receive, and believes problems won't exist if she is famous. She is not, however, willing to work hard to accomplish things. She chooses to be lazy and, since her mother is constantly nagging her, she chooses to fail. She even says she had the right to be a disappointment. She succeeds in letting her mother down at her piano recital, where she plays terribly. Suyuan is not fooled by her daughter's performance. She knows Jing-mei could have done better if she had been willing to apply herself. Years later, when Jing-mei is already grown up, Suyuan gives her the piano as a present and remarks precisely that:
"Well, I probably can't play anymore," I said. "It's been years." "You pick up fast," my mother said, as if she knew this was certain. “You have natural talent. You could be a genius if you want to." "No, I couldn't." "You just not trying," my mother said. And she was neither angry nor sad. She said it as if announcing a fact that could never be disproved. "Take it," she said.
The best answer would be B.

Explanation:
The reason for having different interpretation of the colour of the phone case was because of perception.
Perception is a state of mind in which our sensory information receive information, then interpret it and recognizing the information the next time it occurs again.
In the given example, Michelle, Renee, and Kecia all have different perception of the same colour. For Michelle the colour of the phone case is Jade, for Renee, it is teal and for Kercia, it is turquoise. So, it reveals that this difference in interpretation of the colour is because of perception.
So, the correct answer is option A.
