Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)
In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.
Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:
Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.
List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified
Answer:
Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.
Explanation:
The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
Where’s the excerpt ??? Can’t help without the excerpt
Answer:
The statement that most accurately paraphrases the lines is:
A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
Explanation:
When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:
<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly,
</em>
<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>
The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.
With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:
A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
