Answer:

Focus on the things that truly matter.

and

"Justine recognized that the tradition of spending her birthday with her grandmother was way more important than wearing trendsetting attire for a day..."

Explanation:

<h2>Question 1:</h2>

Always be honest with those you love. - This is not the correct answer, as the story explains that sometimes we do not have to say our completely honest opinion about something if it is minor, and it might hurt people we love.

<em> Focus on the things that truly matter.</em> - <u>This is the correct answer.</u> The story explains how small, everyday inconveniences and embarrassment do not matter that much compared to the health, family, and happiness of the people we love.<u> We should be grateful for big things that we have and value them, instead of focusing on small negative things that bother us (such as outfit we do not like).</u>

Traditions change and evolve over time. - This is an incorrect answer. The story shows how small, harmless traditions can be invaluable and how respecting them can make someone happy.

If something is wrong, take action. - This is not the correct answer. The story does not talk about correcting the wrongdoings of someone else.

<h2> Question 2: </h2>

"She had taken the items from the gift box, put them on, and posed for pictures with her grandmother, as was customary, but then, Justine hid her face . . . " - This is not the correct answer. This quotation only talks about past birthdays and how Justine acted.

<em>"Justine recognized that the tradition of spending her birthday with her grandmother was way more important than wearing trendsetting attire for a day . . . " </em> - <u>This is the correct answer. </u>This quotation shows how <u>Justine realizes the significance of the important things that matter, which is here spending a birthday with her beloved grandmother.</u> <u>She should not have been worried about small things, like being embarrassed by untrendy clothes,</u> because those things do not truly matter in life.

"Justine felt as though she not only sparkled but also glowed in the dark . . . " - This is an incorrect answer. The quotation only explains how Justine felt in the clothes.

"It had been an annual tradition since Justine was five years old. Her maternal grandmother always surprised her with a brand new outfit on her birthday." - This is an incorrect answer. This quotation only reflects on explaining what was the birthday tradition in the title.

Vaselesa [24]

Dear Mayor Levine,

We send our children to school so that they can learn the skills that they need to prepare them for the challenges of life.  In order to make this possible, we want them to learn in an environment that is safe and secure. We truly believe that this encourages them to learn and take part in school activities.

Lately, however, we are now troubled by reports that there many unruly students who cause trouble for the school and other students as well.  What is more alarming is that many of them are carrying concealed weapons and we are afraid that our children’s lives will be at risk.

 We urgently request that your office to do something about this problem. We are worried about the safety and welfare of our children is now at risk because of these recent developments.  We will be happy to work with you in creating a safe in environment for our children to learn in school.

Thank you and God Bless!
