Answer:
A: When you give something a chance, sometimes your opinion of it may change for the better.
Explanation:
While reading the story, Tanisha thinks of the camera in a negative light, only saying bad things about it, and when she finally decides to use it it's out of boredom and not curiosity (She is only curious about why her father values it so much.)
B If that was the author's point, they would've included more nature in the story, and not make Tanisha's feelings about the camera so visible.
C If the author's point was to bash social media and blame it for the world's problems, they wouldn't have talked much about the antique camera, focusing more on Tanisha's life on social media and making it a bigger problem throughout the story.
D The author didn't mention Tanisha's father a lot, except for when Tanisha was thinking back to how she got the camera. They also didn't push the father's opinions onto the reader, he only valued the camera and gifted it to his daughter. Although they don't need to have somebody's opinions pushed onto you to get their point across, it would've made this option make more sense if that was their point.
A. People should not be able to use cell phones while driving due to the many dangers that can arise.
Answer:

- "When I was man alive?" = When was I still alive?
- "Ay, the horses trample," = The horses continue to work hard.
- "The harness jingles now;" = And the harness continues to make noise
- "No change though you lie under" = Everything is the same, except your presence
- "The land you use to plow." = On the land you used to plow.
Explanation:
Firstly, it is important to highlight the meaning of paraphrasing. To paraphrase is to use a sentence and rewrite it keeping the original meaning, but using different words, as was done in the poem above.
The poem provides the conversation between a dead man and his friend, who is still alive. In the first three verses, the man wants to know what is happening in the land that he plowed, cared for and cultivated. He wants to know if everything is as he left it. The latest verses describe the friend's response, who says that everything is the same, except for the presence of the man who is now dead.
