Question

Read the passage from "Fish Cheeks.”

And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner.

What type of transition is found in this passage?

compare
contrast
sequence
cause/effect

Answer 1

The transition found in the passage is **contrast**. The narrator acknowledges that they did not agree with their mother at that moment, yet also recognizes that the mother understood the narrator's suffering during the dinner. This highlights a difference between the narrator's feelings and their mother's understanding.
