Kunci: B
Pembahasan: Option A is incorrect because the passage suggests the opposite of this. Kingston says that in her book, “there is an eight-page section of pure history. There are no characters in it".
This makes it sound like Kingston is not worried about distorting, or changing, historical facts. She believes the history is “pure” or accurate.

Although Kingston says that in the middle of China Men “there is an eight-page section of pure history”, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the book was too long as a result of those pages.
Option D is incorrect because the passage doesn’t suggest this; Kingston doesn’t refer to the concept of adding history to China Men as outdated.
Option E is incorrect because this isn’t a suggestion made in the passage.
Kingston says her addition of history into China Men “affects the shape of the book and might look quite clumsy”, but she doesn’t suggest that the history might appear pretentious (snobbish, conceited).
Option B is the best choice. Kingston admits that her approach to writing China Men “might look quite clumsy” when she inserted several pages of history into the middle of the book with no characters or dialogue. Clumsy = awkward.
