Question

read the passage from \two kinds.\
when my mother told me this, i felt as though i had been sent to hell. i whined and then kicked my foot a little when i couldnt stand it anymore.
\why dont you like me the way i am? im not a genius! i cant play the piano. and even if i could, i wouldnt go on tv if you paid me a million dollars!\ i cried.
my mother slapped me. \who ask you be genius?\ she shouted. \only ask you be your best. for you sake. you think i want you to be genius? hnnh! what for! who ask you!\
\so ungrateful,\ i heard her mutter in chinese, \if she had as much talent as she has temper, she would be famous now.\
which cultural differences are revealed through this conflict? select two options.
□ the daughter resents being asked to work hard all the time, which her mother sees as laziness.
□ the daughter does not value talent or intelligence, whereas her mother believes that they are the two most important qualities a person can have.
□ the daughter wants to be valued for what she is, while the mother believes that the girl should always strive to be more.
□ the daughter believes that her mother should accept and love her, but the mother believes that she should help her daughter succeed.
□ the daughter thinks that her parents owe her love and support, but the mother thinks that the daughter owes them gratitude for providing for her.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 3: The daughter says "Why don't you like me the way I am?" showing she wants to be valued as she is. The mother says "Only ask you be your best" indicating she wants the daughter to strive for more, so this shows a cultural difference in expectations.
2. Analyze Option 4: The daughter's desire for acceptance ("like me the way I am") and the mother's focus on helping her succeed (wanting her to be her best, have talent) aligns with this option's description of their differing views on love/acceptance vs. success - oriented help.
3. Eliminate other options: Option 1 is about work ethic perception, not cultural differences in values. Option 2 misinterprets the daughter's view (she doesn't devalue talent, just doesn't want to be pressured to be a genius). Option 5 is about gratitude/owing, which isn't the main conflict here.

Answer:

C. The daughter wants to be valued for what she is, while the mother believes that the girl should always strive to be more.
D. The daughter believes that her mother should accept and love her, but the mother believes that she should help her daughter succeed.
