Answer 1

Answer: d. She has gained a deeper understanding of her daughter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Amy Tan's story "Two Kinds" the mother's present at the end reveals a complete change in her attitude. The character of the mother, who is apparently a hard person who pushes her daughter to be successful, has showned with this action of giving her daughter a piano that with the passing of time she has become a more comprehensive person and that she wants her daughter to achieve goals in life and to be happy.

Answer 2

I read this story and so I can say its answer should be 4 (She has gained a deeper understanding of her daughter).
