\only two kinds of daughters,\ she shouted in chinese. \those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind! only one kind of daughter can live in this house. obedient daughter!\
what cultural value is revealed through the mothers words?
○ the chinese value that children should obey their parents
○ the us value that children should be what their parents choose
○ the chinese value that parents should encourage independence in children
○ the us value that parents should allow their children to lead independent lives

Explanation:

The mother in "Two Kinds" (a story with Chinese - American cultural context) emphasizes that only an obedient daughter can live in the house. This reflects the Chinese cultural value of children obeying their parents. The second option is incorrect as US values tend to emphasize individualism and children's right to choose their own path, not being what parents choose. The third option is wrong because the mother is demanding obedience, not encouraging independence. The fourth option is also incorrect as it represents a US - style value of independence, while the mother's words stress obedience, a Chinese - related value.

Answer:

A. the Chinese value that children should obey their parents
