Question

Amy Tan uses conflict to show her inner fears that Robert and his family will think that her Chinese customs are unusual. What would be a good illustration for this point? Tan is angry with Robert, because he does not like her food as much as “roasted turkey.” Tan is concerned that Robert is not Chinese like she is, but American. Tan describes the food her family eats as “slimy” and “rubbery.” Tan worries what Robert will think of her relatives who “lacked proper American manners.”

Answer 1

Tan worries what Robert will think of her relatives who “lacked proper American manners.”

This is the correct answer because it shows that she is worried about what Robert's family would think. In the first option it centers around Tan's feelings of being angry with Robert, not being worried. This detail is also wrong. The second option also centers around Tan's feelings about their differences but not specifically about their different customs. The third option illustrates how Tan believes Robert's family will view the food her family eats. In actuality Tan's mother makes all of Tan's favorite foods because she knew the dinner was important to her daughter.

Answer 2

Answer:

(Tan worries what Robert will think of her relatives who “lacked proper American manners.”) and the second answer for the same question is (Tan thinks that her relatives will embarrass her in front of Robert, because their manners are different.)
