In both texts, mothers try to create behaviors in themselves and their children that they perceive as representative of the American dream, as shown in the last answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The two texts show how cultural heritage, immigration, and the difference between generations are something in conflict in people's lives.
In the texts, the main characters struggle to integrate into American culture, maintain their origins and respond to the expectations of their fathers, especially the mothers.
Writing moms have a strong vision of the American dream and what it represents.
Both want their children to realize this utopia, as they see it as a form of success and parental quality.
However, this vision of the American dream, and the way these mothers want their children to fit into American culture, can hinder them in creating a proper cultural identity and life in society.
