my mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in america. you could open a restaurant. you could work for the government and get good retirement. you could buy a house with almost no money down. you could become rich. you could become instantly famous. —“two kinds,” amy tan how does this passage provide an example of an intrinsic motivation? ∘ it demonstrates the mother’s ambition. ∘ it demonstrates that the mother’s main concern is her family. ∘ it demonstrates that the mother doesn’t care what others think. ∘ it demonstrates the mother’s worry about how other people view her.

Explanation:

Intrinsic motivation comes from internal desires. The mother's beliefs about what one can achieve in America show her own ambition (wanting to achieve or see others achieve these things), which is an internal drive. The other options: B is about family concern (not shown here), C says she doesn't care what others think (the passage doesn't imply that), D is about worrying about others' views (opposite, as she focuses on personal possibilities). So the correct option is the one about her ambition.

Answer:

A. It demonstrates the mother’s ambition.
