Answer:

At the age of 43 he made the decision to jump out of a plane.

The idea scared him but the reward of finally feeling like a real man was worth it. So all geared up away he flew — the plane’s door open during the whole flight.

Trying hard not to gag in front of anyone he approached the door once they were above the clouds.

Don’t think you coward! Just jump! What’s the worst that could happen? Living like this is far worse than the shoot not opening, he thought.

So he jumped and fell towards the Earth at 120 mph.

He felt at peace as he fell. Frantic thoughts did not cross his mind as one might think. Just peace.

When he hit the ground and stood up tears filled his eyes.

He would never be a real man.

That ship sailed long ago.He used a pencil to say goodbye. Maybe that would make it less permanent. Words are only as strong as their intent and he didn’t want to leave.

His parents had once hinted that they knew the truth. But by the end of the day their heads were back in The Good Book — their eyes on everything but him.

So with a whisper he crafted his goodbye on paper.

He made the sentences sharp. His points were daggers. An eraser could make them go away. But he knew his parents wouldn’t see that.

“That’s why I have to go in the first place,” he thought.

And when he took his first step into the world as an honest man he felt fixed.

He’d left the note next to the TV. Burnable, tearable. Eraseable.

Maybe after they did all that, they’d remember he was just their son.

slavikrds [6]

The inference is that the true statement about this person's Saturday routine is that he played hopscotch.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

An inference is the conclusion deduced based on the information given in a story.

First, let's define what routine means: A routine is the sequence of actions that you do repeatedly. Examples include brushing your teeth nightly and getting ready for bed is routine, waking up at 6:00 AM, and exercising every morning is a routine.

It is a customary or regular course of procedure, commonplace tasks, chores, or duties as must be done regularly or at specified intervals. It should be noted that audio simply means a form of sound that's recorded, transmitted, or reproduced.

Here, the inference is that the true statement about this person's Saturday routine is that he played hopscotch. This was illustrated in the audio.

In conclusion, the correct option is hopscotch.

Go to Commonlit.com and read the two brothers then please answer this question. 5.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Athanasius thought of the gold as an opportunity to help people whereas John fled from the scene as if he was being chased by a monster thinking that taking gold out of somewhere was a sin.

Explanation:

   Athanasius wanted to take the gold as he saw no sin in helping the neighbor population with it but everything John felt was fear as soon as he saw the gold.

   John was a man of simple ethics and lifestyle and didn't want any complications to his life.

   Athanasius was a man of his own doings and always liked to think otherwise. He believed the bag of gold was a gift from an angel.

   John believed in changing things for people by on's hard work and determination.

   Both the brothers varied with different perspectives on life.
