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!

When a sentence uses the active voice, the subject of the
sentence performs the verb as in the following sentence:
The boy kicked the ball.

it, then, that is what is called the passive as in the following sentence:
The ball was kicked by the boy.
Here we see that the subject, the ball, was receiving the
action/verb of being kicked.
