Answer:
I believe the answer would be letter B, but I apologize if it's wrong!
Explanation:
The narrator.
The passage never gives the narrator a name, or refers to himself in any given name.
The correct answer here would be that "conscription was despotism."
Despotism
refers to the absolute rule of the a single entity who rules as it
choose. That was usually a monarch but it can be any kind of government
that obstructs the rights of its citizens. It is used to describe the
abuse of power and the oppressing of people. Here conscription is
despotism as the government is oppressing the people and their rights
given to them by the 13th Amendment and it is abusing its power.
This is from the Joy Luck Club im guessing??? the primary conflict is between the narrator and her mother, the contention that comes with arguing weather or not loosing more or less pieces results in a better or worse game. the secondary contention is subliminal. it is the pressure the traditional mother puts on her child to not only win, but to always win. Her mother lived in a place and time where only those who did the best survived. the narrator only wants to win, but is willing to make sacrifices to get there. There is the tension and misunderstanding between these two generations.
