Your answer is gentle souls are often disguised by rough exteriors. The others do not cover the overall theme of the book. Yes some rich and poor kids do not get along, but that is not an overall lesson. Also how often did they walk home alone. The story does not revolve around that. Last, Cherry was not a main character, she was not a main part of the plot. So your answer is once again the first one, it goes with the overall plot of the story.
Answer:
B. The ice cream flavor board should be constantly updated.
Explanation:
The main idea of the passage is described in the first line of this paragraph i.e. <em>"The trouble is, of course, that they put up that sign..."</em>. This problem/idea is discussed in next few lines. In the last part of this passage, the writer tells the readers about children's special abilities to identify the flavors just by names, without the signs.
Option A is not correct firstly because the writer has clearly stated the main idea by calling it <em>"the trouble" </em>and secondly the passage is about ice-cream and not about children's abilities.
Option C is incorrect because the passage says nothing deciding on flavor of ice creams.
Option D is incorrect because it is contrary to what is described in the passage. Passage says they don't update signs. Moreover adding new flavors is not result of running out of flavor.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Choice A would make sense for the first sentence, but not the rest. Choice B is supported by the part of the passage that says, "...I am weightless again, flying past the other runners". The choice C isn't supported whatsoever because the passage does not say whether or not Squeaky wins, nor does it talk about working hard to prepare for the race. The choice D is supported by the positive self-talk and the resulting physical response (running faster) that the passage describes. This is why I believe D is the best answer.
D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself
