Re: Q20
Looking at the passage as a whole, the author argues that Kingston’s work connects to the Chinese talk-story tradition. This arguments contrasts the argument of "some critics" that Kingston’s work is totally without precedent.
However, this question asks about lines 43-51 in particular. Here, the author enumerates the ways in which one of Kingston’s works connects to the talk-story tradition.
Essentially, these lines offer hard, supporting evidence for the author’s big point that Kingston’s works connect to that tradition. Correct answer (B) reflects this.
(C) is too broad. That’s what the passage does, but these lines? These lines are more about supporting the connections between Kingston’s work and talk-stories, not taking down critics.
(A), (D), and (E) are all unsupported.
