D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.
In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.
I believe it is that true love changes with the changing seasons because throughout the poem, the author discusses how her emotions change towards the situation. At 14 she was shy and possibly ashamed of their love but learned to accept what they had and enjoyed it until he went away. While he was gone, she missed his presence and continued to wait for his return. The poem is basically a story of their changing love and how it affected her.
