Answer:
D. Neither the children nor their mother hides her delight at receiving presents.
Explanation:
In any sentence which uses the "neither...nor" form, it is mandatory to see the structure of the sentence first. Neither....nor is a comparing word which is also a negative form.
Whenever the 'neither...nor' form is used, the verb form will be based on the subject nearest to it. The subject-verb agreement will depend on the singularity/plural form of the subject involved. In the sentence, the verb "hide(s)" will be judged or used based on the nearest subject which is "mother" thus making it singular. So, the verb will become "hides" and followed by the pronoun "her" instead of the plural "their" for "mother" is singular.
Thus, the sentence
<em>Neither the children nor their</em><u><em> mother hides her</em></u><em> delight at receiving presents</em>
is deemed the correct answer.

Taking into consideration that <em>expository</em> texts try to provide explanation on a topic through the analysis of complex information, the passage that best fits this definition is passage 1 as it tries to explain the concept of weather by analyzing its factors and components.

The two main themes reflected in this excerpt are:
- the importance of family commitment
- the imortance of following one's dreams
- The longest part of the text consists of a description of how much Andrew and his parents are going to miss Robert as he leaves, and vice versa. Andrew even explains why it will be particularly difficult in this case: the two brothers have a special bond ("you and I ain’t like most brothers ... we’ve always been together"). The stage directions also indicate how moved the characters are about this departure ("with feeling"), and so does the punctuation, with exclamation marks and short sentences which usually express emotion ("Andy—believe that!").
- It is precisely this emphasis on the family bond that shows how much Robert's dream is important to him, because he is willing to suffer through separation to fulfill his desire to travel the world: "I hate to leave you and the old folks—but—I feel I’ve got to. There’s something calling me."
<span>The office manager attacks Gregor's integrity and even goes so far as to accuse him of stealing. His employers are heartless. They have no feelings for their employees, and it seems that the manager's intent is to get rid of Gregor from the get go. He isn't being a productive asset for the company, thus, he should leave the company...... anyway they can get him to go.</span><span />
