In Amy Tan's short story "Rules of the Game," a man suggests that Waverly play in local chess tournaments. Waverly knows her mother will probably not allow this, so how does she use "the art of invisible strength" to get her way?

She says the opposite of what she really wants.

She quietly hints that it is something she would like to do.

She begs and pleads with her mother to let her play.

She does not say anything about the tournament
