Question

Refer to the article "Opinion: Bicultural Identity Is Something to Be Embraced."

Read the claim and the reason.

Claim: Young people may be more capable of embracing their bicultural identity and sharing it with the dominant culture.

Reason: Her daughter openly talks to her friends about Indian culture, sharing information about Indian dance and music.

How does this reason logically support the author's claim?


A: It shows how much sharing one's culture breaks down barriers to acceptance.

B: It shows how much work the author has done to teach her daughter to be proud of her heritage.

C: It shows that her daughter is confident in herself and comfortable with her Indian and American identities.

D: It describes how it can be challenging to fit into a dominant culture.

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer isn't A, because the reason doesn't talk about acceptance. The answer also isn't B, because the reason doesn't bring up the author teaching her daughter how to be proud. The answer also isn't D, because the reason talks nothing about any challenges the daughter had fitting into her culture. So that leaves C, and since the reason says the daughter 'openly talks to her friends about her Indian culture' that implies that she is confident enough in herself and her identity to talk about her heritage.

Answer 2

I'm confident the answer would be C!

Step-by-step explanation:

Mainly because if her friends asked about her culture most would be scared but unlike others she was confident and wanted to educate her friends
