Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement to evaluate is: 'In Mimi Lok's short story, the protagonist's parents are immigrants from Shanghai.'
Option A: True. This claim would be supported if the text explicitly stated that the protagonist’s parents originated in Shanghai and immigrated to the new country. However, in many analyses of Lok's works, the parents’ origins are described differently, or their background is not centered on Shanghai. The implication here rests on a precise geographic origin, and without that explicit detail in the text, this option reads as an unsupported generalization.
Option B: False. The alternative asserts that the parents are not immigrants from Shanghai. If the story provides evidence that the parents come from a different city, region, or country, or if it describes their immigration in terms that point to another origin, then this claim aligns with the text. Additionally, some readings emphasize broader themes of displacement that do not hinge on Shanghai as the parents’ origin, which would support the statement's falsity.
To distinguish between the two, one would look for explicit lines in the narrative naming Shanghai as the parents' origin or, conversely, naming a different place or emphasizing a non-Shanghai origin. If such explicit naming exists for a place other than Shanghai, that would validate the False option over True. Conversely, if Shanghai is plainly stated, then True would be supported; in the absence of that confirmation, the safer conclusion given textual cues would be to treat the Shanghai origin claim as not established by the text, which favors the False interpretation.
In summary, the core issue is whether the text provides a definitive Shanghai origin for the parents. If not, the assertion that they are from Shanghai is not supported, making the False option the accurate choice; if the text clearly identifies Shanghai as their origin, the True option would be accurate. The reasoning hinges on the specific textual details about parental origin and immigration context.
