Answer:
Greg opened the door and found his father pacing the kitchen with a worried look in his eye. When he saw Greg, his face broke out into a smile. “Where on earth have . . . ,” he started to say. But then he stopped and pulled Greg toward him in a big bear hug. “Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore. I’m just glad you’re home,” he said.
Greg looked up at the man he had never understood before. “Thanks, Dad,” he said.
“For what?” his father asked.
Greg smiled, and answered, “Everything.”
Verb: the word "asked" is the action of requesting information.
Answer:
B). "He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."
C). "Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."
Explanation:
The above two evidence factually support and substantiate the claim that 'people who read stories are better at communicating and understanding the feelings of others.'
The first evidence i.e. option B states that <u>the research revealed 'the children or adults who have been reading stories constantly their whole lives are able to recognize the thoughts or feelings of others more accurately' while the second evidence i.e. option C asserts logically that 'in attempt to understand the characters of stories, the same mental muscle is required for understanding people in real life.'</u>
Thus, these two pieces of evidence not only support but substantiates how reading comprehends our understanding of thoughts, opinions, or feelings of others. Hence, <u>options B and C</u> are the correct answers.
We can not answer this because we don't know what you are reading. What book is this from?
