hello kitty’s charm
though hello kitty has been a fixture in pop culture for a half century, her persona is somewhat hard to define. however, some say hello kitty’s expressionless face may just be the key to her enduring charm. because she doesn’t convey emotion, hello kitty can be whatever fans want her to be. speaking from the heart (she doesn’t have a mouth), she can be joyful, serious, or downright silly. she can be a sibling, a teacher, or even a famous magician—that’s up to the fans. above all, though, hello kitty is a friend. over the years, her welcoming influence has resonated with people all over the world.
the japan society of northern california (jsnc) granted hello kitty its cultural ambassador award, recognizing her as an international symbol of peace and friendship. many say that hello kitty overcomes cultural barriers, modeling kindness and acceptance. she has cultivated a steadfast global following simply by waving the flag of friendship...while being irresistibly cute.
question 2
think about the article. which is true of hello kitty?
a. she does not celebrate her birthday.
b. she usually shows her more serious side.
c. her personality is always joyful.
d. her face does not convey emotions.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option against the article:

• Option A: The article has no info about her birthday, so we can't confirm this. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The article says she can be serious, joyful, or silly, but it doesn't say she "usually" shows her serious side. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The article states she can be joyful, serious, or silly (depending on fans' interpretation), so her personality isn't always joyful. Eliminate C.
• Option D: The article says "Hello Kitty’s expressionless face may just be the key to her enduring charm. Because she doesn’t convey emotion", which matches this option.

Answer:

D. Her face does not convey emotions.
