Read this excerpt from "The All-American Slurp."Mrs. Gleason announced that dinner was served and invited us to the dining table. It was lavishly covered with platters of food, but we couldn’t see any chairs around the table. So we helpfully carried over some dining chairs and sat down. All the other guests just stood there.
Answer
A
an introduction of the Lin and Gleason families
B
a resolution in which the Lins feel comfortable
C
a conflict between the Lins and the unfamiliar culture
D
a conflict in which the other guests treat the Lins unkindly
Explanation
The Lins see a table full of food but no chairs, so they bring chairs over and sit down. The other guests remain standing, suggesting the Lins have misunderstood an unfamiliar dining custom. This shows a conflict between the Lins and the unfamiliar culture, not that the guests are treating them unkindly.
