Read the paragraph from the article: Depending on the person and situation, I'll have different answers to that dreaded question.
I'll tell white lies and change my story as I go, like many other TCKs. Sometimes I'll go for the
quick Finland and Senegal. Other times I'll tell the whole story: that I was born in
Helsinki, Finland, moved to Luxembourg, then to Brussels, Belgium, and finally to London,
England. Or I might say that my mum is from Finland and dad from Senegal, but that I really
feel like my home is in the U. K. now.
How does this paragraph contribute to the author's argument?
O It provides evidence that most TCKs feel forced to lie about their origins in order to maintain
their personal privacy.
It highlights the locations of her parents' origins in order to emphasize the cultures she feels
most connected to.
O It establishes her experience as a TCK as well as illustrating the challenges of relating that
experience to others.
It reiterates her nervousness about being accepted as well as illustrating which parts of the
story have been made up.
