A) My childhood had always been filled with wonderful friends that I could count on. Although was it only later did I realize that friendships never last. Whilst everyone was growing up, and facing that they wouldn’t have the same friends forever, I had to be faced with the cold truth to realize that friends are never going to be by your side when you grow up. Yes there are some friends that are with you forever, although those are rare.
During my time in elementary I had realized that friendships are easily developed there. It is simple to ask, “would you like to play with me?” or, “would you like to be friends?” Whilst in the future it is harder.
In elementary I had developed a very strong bond with a friend and soon after when we had to attend middle school did I notice that we weren’t going to stay close much longer.
Later we parted ways and only talked less and less on the phone. When we started to attend after school activities, I noticed our bond was breaking. When trying to contact (friend name) I had not been able to reach (him/her)....
Now I am in (high school/ middle school/ college) and I have many other friends. I have realized that I don’t need just one friend, because having many is so much better.
I have no idea where my old friend is now, or how (he/she) is doing but I wish her the best.

Explanation:
Vincent Van Gogh was the most well-known post-impressionist artist born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert. For him, colors were the symbol of expression. He was a missionary at his young age, who was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence.
Starry Night is one of the famous painting by Van Gogh. Historians say that Van Gogh painted Starry Night when he was in mental hospital. Some theologians try to interpret his Starry Night in religious terms as Van Gogh was also religious. It is said that he painted this picture having a picture of Genesis 37:9 in mind in which Biblical Character Joseph sees a dream,
"Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, saying, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me."
Van Gogh in his painting also paints Eleven stars and the sun and the moon. With this interpretation in my mind Van Gogh made stars accessible in a way that just like Joseph's dream came true at the end of Genesis, one's dreams can also become true if we continue to believe in it despite the situation.
Answer:
a) Using context clues
Explanation:
In literature, context clues are words or phrases, such as synonyms, antonyms, or metaphors, that are used as 'clues' or 'hints' when an unfamiliar or complicated word is used by the author. It allows the reader to <u>understand the meaning of the word in regard to the context it is used in.</u>
Context clues could be more useful in comparison to dictionaries because it allows the reader to comprehend the word in a more profound way by knowing <em>how the word could be used, in what context, how is it similar or different to other words</em>, etc. instead of only known the definition - which could also be complicated to understand in many cases.
