Reading the passage
The opening gives us two descriptions: a multicultural paradise, or familiar Asian American themes such as generational conflict. Either could supply the answer. We're being asked about those general descriptions, not specifically about Lum.
Working the answers
- A
Nothing characterizes this literature as hostile to developing a local sensibility. Even without knowing “inimical,” we can check whether the rest matches either opening description.
- B
Individual success appears in the discussion of Lum's closing poem, not as one of those descriptions.
- CCorrect
“Generational conflict” means conflict between different age groups. This directly restates the opening example.
- D
Retaining homeland ties matters to Lum, but it isn't the general characterization given in the opening.
- E
The new family in a new land comes from Lum's lunar-celebration poem. Familiar words from that example don't answer the question about the broader literature.
