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!

Are there different rights for citizens and noncitizens? Should there be?
inessss [21]

Answer:

im not sure if this is what you asked but hope it helps :)

Explanation:

Rights Reserved to Citizens

The Constitution reserves a few rights for citizens alone. Most notably, the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2, and the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment both protect the “privileges” and “immunities” of US citizens against various types of interference by state governments.

The Second and Ninth Amendments indicate that the rights they protect are those of “the people.” While the Supreme Court has never addressed this issue, lower courts have disagreed over whether “the people” entitled to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms includes noncitizens, especially undocumented immigrants.

That a few constitutional rights may be specifically reserved to citizens underscores the broader principle that the vast majority are not. There would be no need to specify such a reservation if the Constitution had a default rule limiting rights to citizens.

In reality, the vast majority of rights outlined in the Constitution are phrased as general limitations on government power, not special protections for a specific class of people — be they citizens or some other group.
