Answer:
D) People don't always get what they want.
Explanation:
"First Love," written by Judith Ortiz Cofer, tells the story of a 14-year-old girl who is in love with a boy older than her. Because of her desire to be with the boy she loves, the girl does everything she can to see him, to be near him and to be noticed. Although she tries very hard, she is never noticed by the boy, who lives a phase of life very different from hers and has other interests. Even in love disappointment, the girl understands the true meaning of love and goes on with her life with the lesson that people don't always get what they want and it's okay not to get what they want because the future is a surprise box and Better things can come up at any time.
<span>Option “A” is the correct example of a sentence that has a
compound predicate. The sentence is “She washed the shells and dried them in
the sun”. A compound predicate actually consists of two or more than two verbs
having the same subject and joined by any conjunction like “or” or “and”. As
far as the given sentence is concerned, we see that “She” is the subject and
the subject is doing two different things.
This is the reason behind taking this sentence as a compound predicate. </span>
