Question

Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".

"Thanks, thanks a lot, Mom!" Yoyo stormed out of that room and into her own. Her daughters never called her Mom except when they wanted her to feel how much she had failed them in this country. She was a good enough Mami, fussing and scolding and giving advice, but a terrible girlfriend parent, a real failure of a Mom.

Based on this excerpt, what can be concluded about the daughters?

They sometimes wish their mother would be more like the American moms.
They sometimes wish their mother would stop inventing useless things.
They sometimes wish their mother would fuss over them more than she does.
They sometimes wish their mother would move them to the Dominican Republic.

Answer 1

They sometimes wish their mother would be more like the American moms.

Evidence: the line “Her daughters never called her Mom except when they wanted her to feel how much she had failed them in this country” shows they judge her by American standards and want her to fit those expectations.
