Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the cause of tension between Vietnamese immigrants and Australian shopkeepers in the late 1970s, as presented in the lecture on asking to do things.
Option 1: 'the Australian shopkeepers thought that the Vietnamese customers were too loud and annoying the other customers' - This suggests a perception that the customers were loud, which is not the cause given in the material. The tension was linked more directly to language/how language was used rather than merely noise levels or behavior, so this option misstates the foundational issue.
Option 2: 'the Australian shopkeepers were all racist' - This is an overgeneralization and a value judgment about all shopkeepers. The lecture identifies a specific communication and language-related clash rather than attributing systemic racism to every shopkeeper, so this claim goes beyond what the source states and frames the tension in a more accusatory, broad stroke than the material supports.
Option 3: 'the Australian shopkeepers thought that the Vietnamese customers were not dressed appropriately in their shops' - This option centers on dress and appearance, which is not cited as the cause of tension. The core issue discussed in the lecture concerns language and communication, not dress codes or attire.
Option 4: 'the Australian shopkeepers thought that the language of the Vietnamese customers was harsh and rude' - This option directly points to the linguistic friction described in the lecture. The perceived harshness or rudeness in language use created misunderstandings and tension between groups, making this the accurate cause reported.
In summary, the other options pivot on aspects (noise level, racism, dress) that are not the focus of the described tension, whereas the language-related clash aligns with the central communication barrier highlighted in the lecture.
