Answer:
The correct answers are:
2. Michelle notices that they both have dark skin and are both outsiders in the nursing home.
5. Ekran sometimes lives in his own world, so Michelle decides to try to understand that world
Explanation:
Option 2 is the more intuitive one, as Michelle is comparing them both, thus, she realizes they have in common their skin, for example.
The fifth option is less intuitive, as Michelle is not comparing anything technically speaking, however, when you try to understand someone else, you often find things that you might have in common in order to fully understand the situation, it's like putting yourself into the other’s shoes. So this option is as well completely suitable in the “people often have more in common than they might think” context.
