Answer

The answer is she wants to share in her daughter's accomplishments.

Explanation
Option 1: She wants to adhere to the customs of the Chinese community.

While adhering to cultural customs can be important, the passage does not provide evidence that the mother's actions are primarily motivated by a desire to follow community customs.

Option 2: She wants to satisfy people's curiosity about her daughter.

The passage does not suggest that the mother is introducing her daughter to satisfy others' curiosity. Instead, it focuses on the mother's pride in her daughter.

Option 3: She wants to share in her daughter's accomplishments.

This option is supported by the text. The mother proudly introduces her daughter, indicating that she wants to share and celebrate her daughter's achievements with others.

Option 4: She wants to exert control over her daughter.

The passage does not indicate that the mother's primary motivation is to control her daughter. Instead, it highlights her pride and desire to share her daughter's success.
