Answer 1

irony

Step-by-step explanation:

The revision that most accurately uses a literary term is:

Amy Tan points out the irony in Jing-mei's mother's efforts to get her to become a prodigy: "I soon found out why Old Chong had retired from teaching piano. He was deaf."

Irony is the literary term used in this revision because there is a contrast between the mother's efforts to make Jing-mei a prodigy and the fact that the piano teacher, Old Chong, had retired due to being deaf. This contrast between the mother's expectations and the reality of the situation creates irony.
