In “the bane of the internet,” the conflict between the narrator and her sister begins when her sister wants to
a buy an apartment
b buy an autobile
c leave her hometown
d divorce her husband

The correct answer is option letter B (BUY AN AUTOMOBILE). Taken from the story called “The Bane of the Internet” by Ha Jin that was published in his book A Good Fall (2009), the conflict between the narrator and her sister begins when her sister wants to buy a car, since her sister is constantly asking her for money to buy it. The narrator insists on the fact that the automobile is not necessary for her and that she is just following the herd. For instance, the narrator says: “She too had caught the national auto mania.” and “How had she become so vain and so unreasonable? I urged her to be rational.”. They always argue through e-mails. Finally, the narrator gives her sister the money to buy the car.
