Answer 1

The correct answer is A. She doesn't want to fail her mother again. According to her mom, she doesn't work hard at all and will never be the best pianist if she doesn't practice more. She is quite disappointed with her daughter and would like her to be more successful than she is at the moment. Jing-mei, on the other hand, feels bad about the way her mother thinks about her, and doesn't want to disappoint her again.

She doesn't want to fail her mother again.
