Answer:

- It demonstrates a mother's ambition.

Explanation:

The given passage exemplifies an intrinsic motivation by 'demonstrating the ambition of a mother.'

This shows that her mother has a deep and innate wish that Jing-mei becomes successful and can have it all because she seems to be her last hope. She observes the United States as the land of dreams and opportunities which is why she aspires for her daughter's success.
