The two sentences which need to be connected are: "We all considered it great fun." and "I regret our youthful thoughtlessness."
You can tell something is missing between these sentences because they are expressing radically opposed ideas. The first one is very positive and optimistic, and the second one is full of regret. Therefore, they should be linked by a conjunction expressing opposition, such as <em>but</em>, <em>however</em>, or <em>yet</em>.
You could even add a clause which explicits the time difference (then versus now), to mark the contrast even more. An example would be: "We all considered it great fun. <u>Yet, now that I have grown up,</u> I regret our youthful thoughtlessness."
The two sentences which need to be connected are: "English cooks seemed unable to prepare an appetizing vegetable dish." and "Vegetables were very abundant at the time and were grown in the gardens of both rich and poor."
Here again, the two sentences seem to raise a paradox: why would the cooks be so unexperienced with vegetables if they had plenty at their disposal? One way to connect these statements would be to use a linkword which expresses this apparent contradiction. You could insert <em>surprisingly</em> or <em>although</em>, for example.
If you want to add a full clause or sentence, you could point out this question, like so: "English cooks seemed unable to prepare an appetizing vegetable dish. <u>This is not due to a lack of such produce, however: </u>vegetables were very abundant at the time and were grown in the gardens of both rich and poor."
<u>Answer:</u>
"You don't get it, sister. I cannot drive a Chinese model. If I did, people would think I am cheap and laugh at me."
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the short story, "The Bane of the Internet" by Ha Jin, this statement is written by Yuchin in an e-mail to her sister (who is also the narrator), demanding her to lend Yuchin a sum of $10,000 so that she could buy a foreign car, even if it was doubly rated (as the narrator mentions), because she didn't want to appear "cheap" by getting a Chinese car which was priced less. This sentence shows her excessive concern with her image and status, and hence clearly illustrates her vanity. Her sister realises that Yuchin had also caught the auto mania.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The first one shows her need to be above or impress her ex-husband, which was not the real reason she was buying an expensive car, as the narrator later realises.
- The second one shows her envy towards her niece for owning a car.
- The last one illustrates her adamant and headstrong nature, bordering to manipulation, but not vanity.
