At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It's a polite Chines

e custom to show you are satisfied," explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night.

Answer:

To show how different Amy’s family’s customs are from Robert’s

Explanation:

<em>Fish Cheeks</em> is a story about Amy, a Chinese girl, and her family. They invited the minister`s family to Christmas Eve dinner. Amy is in love with their son Robert. Amy was afraid how the evening will turn out because their customs differ a lot and Robert`s family might think something bad about her family. They are loud and their behavior is much more relaxed than it is in a middle-class American family. So what her father did was just an act of courtesy which minister`s family tried to follow. Amy felt so embarrassed. After the dinner was over, her mother said that it is okay that she wants to be socially accepted, but that <u>she should not give up her origin</u>.

The correct answer is B. Dr. Robert Garcia.
Given that this entire excerpt is written based on this author's study, it would be best to hyperlink his name so as to go to his study and check the original source of information. Placing it elsewhere wouldn't really make any sense at all.
