I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:
A. noun clause
B. verb phrase
C. adjectival phrase
D. adverbial clause
Answer:
The underlined phrase is a:
B. verb phrase
Explanation:
A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:
- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"
- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"
Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".

Answer: D</h2>
Explanations:
A. Is angry that the coffee is too weak. I don't believe this is the answer, because, "blinked red eyes at the weak brew of coffee" Isn't the main idea or key detail, and isn't important at all.
B. Doesn't appreciate the effort of the narrator to make breakfast. Not really the answer, because if the mom didn't really appreciate the breakfast, it would've shown more evidence for that. Besides, some people wake up cranky ;w;
C. Is frustrated that she had been woken up by the narrator. No. Nowhere in the second paragraph it says that the mom was woken up by the narrator.
D. Feels very tired even after a good night's sleep. Yes. I believe this is the answer because in paragraph 1, the narrator made sure the TV was low so the mom could sleep. In paragraph 2, It's obvious that the mom feels very tired because of these clues: Yawned a hat-sized yawn, and blinked red eyes.

Answer:Congress enacted the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 to encourage banks and thrift institutions to “serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which they are chartered to do business,” including low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities, and to do so in a manner “consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions.” The CRA requires each federal bank regulator, including the Federal Reserve, to evaluate the extent to which banks address the credit needs of LMI neighborhoods in their geographic markets. While research generally indicates the CRA has increased lending to LMI communities, the Act has been a source of debate since its passage.
