The Passage B supports the theme that perseverance pays off.

Explanation:

The tortoise with a pretty daughter is a story of how a king declared that any daughter born in the kingdom more beautiful than the prince's wives , should be killed along with her family members.

There was a tortoise to whom, a beautiful daughter was born. While the mother wanted the girl to be killed to save themselves, the tortoise was against it and saved his daughter by keeping her hidden.

When the prince accidentally saw her,he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. The king wanted to kill the beautiful damsel but, when he saw her beauty, he had a change of heart.

This shows that the Tortoise was wisest of all Men and animals, as his perseverance paid off. He without getting scared chose to protect his daughter and waited for the king to realize, how wrong he was to pass this law.

In return for his perseverance , he not only got his daughter married to the king's son , but also got half of the Kingdom along with riches and slaves.

2 reasons i agree,

1: When teenagers have to get a job, they will not be used to face to face contact, which could make them have more struggles in interviews.

2: people can easily ignore the world around them when they are on there phones, they will not be used to the outside world when they turn 18.

2 reasons i disagree.

1: Some people can balance there life and there cell phones, and they can get more used to calling people, and get more used to finding there way around on there phone, to there GPS when it comes in handy.

2: Teenagers can have friends online, they can talk to people more, maybe in group chats using the voice options- and get better at speaking to people.

I hope this helps!!

Answer: B - It will eliminate the stress of having to come up with a response

immediately

Explanation:

This is because students will have time (30 secs) to prep a response to the question, so it relieves the stress of coming up with an answer immediately which may also not be a valid answer, as your mind would have to work fast to extreme measures.
