Answer:

Smell.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's <em>Two Kinds</em> tells the story of Jing-mei and her life, brought up to be a prodigy of any talent. But the conflict arise from her own want to assert and understand her identity, trying to fit into the American culture while her mother's trying to make her become a <em>"prodigy"</em>.

Old Lady Chong is the mother of Old Chong or Mr. Chong, the piano teacher from the first floor of the apartment building that Jing-mei and her family lives. And she is mentioned just once in the story when Jing-mei went to the piano lesson. She reveals she <em>"met Old Lady Chong once, and that was enough. She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants"</em>. Thus, the author uses the sense of smell in describing the old lady's age.

Dafna1 [17]

In “The Wednesday Wars January-February,” Holling was not an admirer of the William Shakespeare play, _Romeo and Juliet_.   In fact, Holling thought the play _Romeo and Juliet_ was stupid, not because it was silly or because it did not make sense; rather, Holling thought the play was stupid because Romeo and Juliet died for love.

MatroZZZ [7]

Imagine you work in a clothing store. your manager asks you to set up a certain display in a particular aisle at the other end of the store. as you come to the area, you see that many customers are shopping in the area you need to set up the display, blocking your access to the display area. using good time management skills, you should <u>clean the aisles near the display area until it is clear of customers.</u>

Since customers' shopping are what keep any business moving and prospering, including clothing stores, and I need to keep doing my job regardless of what's happening around, a good time management skills would be to clean the aisles near the display area until it is clear of customers. This way, I won't interrupt the customer's chance of seeing something they might buy, which benefits the store, and meanwhile, I will be preparing the area where I'll work later once it is clear of people.
