To determine which sentence uses the word "nonchalantly" correctly in the context of "Two Kinds," we need to understand the meaning of the word. "Nonchalantly" means to do something casually or without concern.
In the given options:
A) "The family nonchalantly moved to United States from China." - This usage of "nonchalantly" seems out of place since moving to a different country is typically a significant event that requires planning and effort. It does not match the casual and unconcerned meaning of the word.
B) "The piano was reconditioned nonchalantly." - This option implies that the piano was refurbished casually or without much thought, which fits the definition of "nonchalantly." However, it is important to note that "Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan and doesn't give any information about pianos being reconditioned.
C) "The daughter nonchalantly announced she was quitting piano." - This option correctly uses "nonchalantly" to describe how the daughter casually and without concern announced her decision to quit playing the piano. This is an appropriate usage of the word in the context of "Two Kinds."
D) "The mother presented test questions nonchalantly every night." - This option suggests that the mother casually presented test questions without concern. Although this is a possible scenario, it does not align with the events or characters in "Two Kinds."
Therefore, the correct sentence that uses "nonchalantly" in the context of "Two Kinds" is C) "The daughter nonchalantly announced she was quitting piano."
