Question

question 9 of 10
which word best describes the narrator’s feeling toward her mother at the end of “fish cheeks”?

a. concern

b. rage

c. admiration

d. disrespect

Explanation:

In "Fish Cheeks", at the end, the narrator (Amy Tan) comes to understand and appreciate her mother's actions (like preparing traditional Chinese food to honor their heritage) and gains a positive view of her mother's wisdom about cultural identity. "Admiration" fits as she respects and appreciates her mother. "Concern" is about worry (not the focus), "Rage" is extreme anger (unrelated), and "Disrespect" is the opposite of her final feelings.

Answer:

C. Admiration
