Answer:
What can be inferred about the mother's decision to send her daughter to Old Chong for piano lessons is:
The mother hopes her daughter will succeed.
Explanation:
In the short story "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan, the main character, June, is expected to become a child prodigy by her mother, Suyuan. At first excited by the idea, June follows her mother into trying to figure out some talent she can use to become famous. After watching a genius girl play the piano on TV, Suyuan decides to have her daughter take piano lessons from a neighbor, Old Chong.
Even though she could have learned if she had chosen to, June is lazy. She pretends to be applying herself, and Old Chong buys it. He's already deaf, so he doesn't know for sure if she's playing the right keys - June moves her hands too fast for him to know. Suyuan expected her daughter to succeed. She believed the piano lessons would be taken seriously and her daughter would soon be regarded as special. Very much to her disappointment, though, June makes a fool of herself during a presentation.
