Answer 1

My answer is option A: It helps create the image that Eugenie is perfect.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A: "It helps create the image that Eugenie is perfect". The short story "The White Umbrella" by Gish Jen tells the story of a young girl that is ashamed of her working mother and praises her piano teacher: Eugenie Roberts. The fact that Eugenie has great piano skills help to create the idea that she is perfect, in contrast to the young girl's mother.
