In the first excerpt, First generation, and second excerpt, Like Americans, they are both similar because both of them relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions.
Correct option is A.
"Each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions."
They are similar insofar that they use the same tenses, that is the past simple tense, and short clear sentences that tell of a story in the past. The style is simple with few adjectives and not that many clauses or phrases. This kind of a style was made popular by Ernest Hemingway, but others wrote like it too, like the paragraphs here.

Answer and Explanation:
There is the same error repeated in two places in this sentence. This is because the sentence needs conjunctions before the verb "to fly" and before the word "lucy". Conjunctions are words that allow connections between the clauses of a sentence, allowing them to be read with fluidity and cohesion. Without these conjunctions, sentences are incorrect and incoherent.
The sentence written with the conjunctions correctly would be:
"Learning how to fly a plane and swimming were two skills that Lucy really wanted to learn."
B. By revealing just enough information to make the audience curious
If we look at the part of the sentence "when a football practice was over" we can say that it is a recurring action periodically and it represents a routine, but that's not a phrase because it is stated specifically, what is the issue. "I stopped" also suggests a concrete action, therefore, it's not a phrase, because it explicitly indicates what has been done. What is the phrase in this sentence is a cluster of words without a finite verb, and having that in mind, the correct answer is "riding a skateboard".
