Answer:
To establish the idea that Alfonso cares a lot about how other people see him.
Explanation:
Gary Soto's short story <em>"Broken Chain"</em> tells the story of how a young boy's desire to look handsome and impressing girls consume him into believing he needed to be physically handsome. This story reflects the theme that true beauty is found in the inside, and outside appearances are not worthy to judge an individual's beauty.
The author Gary Soto most likely open the story with the character of Alfonso to establish the idea that Alfonso cares about his appearance and how people will perceive him to be. This is in support of the overall theme that is found throughout the story. The theme of physical beauty is foremost in the development of the story, leading the protagonist to try all means to appear 'presentable' in the eyes of others.

To answer this, we try to list the possible ages of his children. Given above,
xyz=72
That first clue is not sufficient to produce a single solution, so Bob reveals the sum of their ages to Mark (sums sorted in ascending order):
Age1 Age2 Age3 Sum
3 4 6 13
2 6 6 14
3 3 8 14
2 4 9 15
2 3 12 17
1 8 9 18
1 6 12 19
2 2 18 22
1 4 18 23
1 3 24 28
1 2 36 39
1 1 72 74
Mark says that there is still insufficient information, there must be duplicate sets of ages that produce a single product. Here are the two:
Age1 Age2 Age3 Sum
2 6 6 14
3 3 8 14
I think the correct answer are 2, 6, 6.
