Answer:

B. embarrassed because she wants Robert to think she views the food as strange, and her father is revealing her true feelings about it.
Explanation:
In Amy Tan's short story "Fish Cheeks" she tells readers of an episode when she was fourteen years old. Amy had fallen in love with the minister's son, Robert. Upon finding out her mother had invited Robert and his family for dinner at Christmas, <u>Amy was appalled. She believed the typical Chinese dinner to be served would be a disappointment for an American family. There would be no turkey or sweet potatoes, but fish and shrimp instead. For the first time, Amy looked at all the food and did not find it appetizing.</u>
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here shows how embarrassed Amy was when her father said, "your favorite." She wanted Robert to think she found the Chinese meal disgusting, so that he would see her as a typical American girl. However, her father innocently revealed the way she actually felt about the food, more specifically about the fish cheeks.</u>
