Question

Jamal is writing a literary analysis essay responding to this quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald: "That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong." Read the reason Jamal gives for his own viewpoint in the first body paragraph of his literary analysis essay.

Interactions between family members are an example of a universal theme that can connect to most readers.

Which sentence best serves as evidence for this reason?

a) The central idea in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds,” the conflict between parent and child, is expressed by the daughter's retort, "You want me to be something I'm not."
b) The main character in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds” has a mother who cleans houses for extra money, but Fitzgerald's characters are usually wealthy socialites.
c) Amy Tan writes fiction about Chinese Americans like herself, and many of her stories are inspired by her own childhood.
d) Fitzgerald's idea that the purpose of literature is to connect to readers is a common idea that is reflected in much of modern fiction and poetry, including the work of Amy Tan.

Answer 1

a) The central idea in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds,” the conflict between parent and child, is expressed by the daughter's retort, "You want me to be something I'm not."

Step-by-step explanation:

The best evidence to support the universal theme of interaction between family members is the choice that actually deals with reciprocal communication and disagreement between a parent and a child.

The rest of the choices, however, do not reflect the general theme of familiar hostility.

Answer 2

Step 1: Determine which options are correct

Which sentence best serves as evidence for this reason?

- Option A: The central idea in Amy Tan's “Two Kinds,” the conflict between parent and child, is expressed by the daughter's retort, "You want me to be something I'm not."

The option that makes sense is Option A because the main/central idea in this article is that the conflict between the parent and child. They have an argument where the daughter's retort is that her parents want her to do something that she is not.
