(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan's mother assures him that they aren't going to operate. In Winter Driving, Jesper pulls his car over, flexes his hands, and takes a few breaths.

Explanation:

Supporting Detail:

In Animals in the Zoo:

He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit

The public wasn't allowed to see them until Ryan's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy.

If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

In Winter Driving:

The snow was still falling, and he knew he definitely didn't want to get stuck sleeping in his car. He had come this far, and he was determined to make it all the way home.
