Consider Waverly “Meimei” Jong’s actions and their consequences in the short story “Rules of the Game” by Amy Tan. Which theme is supported best by her actions?

A) Like chess, power is gained through strategy, not emotion.

B) Overt strength is more powerful than “invisible strength.”

C) Silence is a weapon that should never be wielded.

D) It’s impossible for parents to win a battle of wills against their children.

                 

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

"Meimei" Jong's actions were very emotional and caused her to fall out with her mom.

She had made a mistake by mouthing thoughts she had not properly thought out and then ran off. She had nowhere else to go but home. Unfortunately for her, her mom was also a "chess champion" albeit an ardent player in real life scenarios. For when "Meimei" eventually enters the house, her mother announces to her brothers to let her be. Dinner was already served and eaten by everyother person with none reserved for her. Her mother taught her that night that she might be a champion at chess strategy but that when it came to it's applicability in life, she had a lot to learn.

Cheers!

Which sentence correctly uses commas to separate narration from the quotation?
Dominik [7]
Hello, the correct answer would be D. When you are quoting something, of course, that sentence needs to be separated by quotation marks, and the comma needs to be inside the quote, so first comma, then close the quote. After that continue with the narration, put a comma, open quotation mark, write your quote, put a full stop, and close the quotation mark.

The primary purpose of both queen elizabeth's address to the troops at tilbury and response to parliament's request that she mar
Alla [95]

Queen Elizabeth I was one of the first female rulers in Europe and at the beginning of her reign, conflict and turmoil assailed her kingdom due to the fact that she was, first, a woman, and second, a Protestant among the mostly Catholic rulers of Europe. Even within her realm she suffered a lot of resistance from her subjects also because she was a woman, and mostly, because of her history and the way she ascended the throne. At the very beginning of her reign, Queen Elizabeth addressed Parliament on February 10th, 1559 and focused her efforts on persuading her audience about her strength as a woman and the reasons why she would not choose to marry, which was the issue being pushed forward by her subjects, as it was believed that an unmarried woman could not lead. Queen Elizabeth then uses two arguments to convince her people; the first, that she has been gifted by God and seeks to fulfill His plans and the second, that she is already wedded to England. On her second address, many years later, to her troops at Tilsbury, on August 9, 1558, just before the conflict that was about to arise by the attempted invasion of English soil by the Spanish, Queen Elizabeth once again seeks to persuade her people that marriage is unecessary for her. Once again, she makes mention of her calling by God, therefore not needing to be married, and second, her alliance with England. So the primary purpose for both speeches is the same: Queen Elizabeth seeks to persuade and convince her audience that marriage is not required for her to be a successful ruler.
