Why does the author include details about the dinner party hosted by the lins in "the all-american slurp"? 1.to illustrate the narrator’s frustration with her parents’ customs 2.to reveal the lins’ difficulty with trying to understand their neighbors 3.to highlight the narrator’s developing friendship with meg 4.to emphasize a key similarity between the gleasons and the lins

The correct answer is 4, to emphasize a clear similarity between the Gleasons and the Lins.

Explanation: The author first describes the shallow details of the dinner party: the food, the obvious details, etc. If you don't go deeper, you'll think it is about the differences. But then, he makes the point that serving dinner for your guests is the same in both families regardless of what they serve, just to do your best and hope for it t go that way too. Therefore, the author emphasizes on the similarities among two different cultures of the feeling when eating with friends and not properly on the food or habits.

The answer is D/ to emphasize a key similarity between the Gleasons and the Lins
