Question 4 • Initial Credit- Common Core English 11 1.0

Which statement best summarizes a central idea in The Namesake?

Answer
A
Globalization allows people to maintain cultural identities from their home countries.
B
Globalization is leading people to redefine their cultural identities.
C
Globalization has more of an impact on adults than it does on children.
D
Globalization is unaffected by the dominance of any one particular culture.

Explanation

The novel follows the Ganguli family as they adapt to life in the United States while remaining connected to their Indian heritage. In particular, Gogol and his sister negotiate what their cultural identities mean in a society shaped by different cultural influences. This supports the idea that globalization leads people to redefine their cultural identities, rather than simply preserve them unchanged.
