This question is missing the excerpt and one of the options. I've found the excerpt and the missing option online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from Enrique's Journey.

Moreover, the Mara Salvatrucha street gangsters, some deported from Los Angeles, always <u>prowl </u>the train tops looking for sleepers. Many MS gangsters settle in Chiapas after committing crimes in the United States and being expelled to their home countries in Central America. The police in Chiapas are more forgiving of gangs than those in El Salvador or Honduras.

[...]

E. It supports the idea that the gangsters are involved in criminal activities.

Answer:

The meaning of the underlined word, prowl, support the author's purpose in this excerpt because:

C. It indicates that the gangsters are looking for vulnerable  people.

E. It supports the idea that the gangsters are involved in criminal activities.

Explanation:

The verb to prowl refers to someone moving around stealthily with the purpose of finding a prey. When the author chose that verb to describe the way the gangsters act, she wanted to convey the idea that they prey on other people, that they are involved in crimes. Gangsters look for vulnerable people on train tops, according to the excerpt, certainly with the purpose of robbing them. It is as if they are predators, prowling around a forest to find their prey.

13 You and some other students recently organised a fashion show at your school to raise money for
RSB [31]

Answer:

Dear friend,

I hope you are doing great. I am well and happy since I have helped in a fashion show at my school to raise money for a charity, and it went excellent.

With other students, we organized a fashion show to raise money for the Save Children charity. It is an organization that helps children in need to be healthy, to have food and education. I was part of the food team, which means that I had to cook and sell food to our guests. The response to the show was overwhelming. Thanks to the organization and the hard work, we raised more money than we expected. Even more, the principal congratulated us on our job!

I have to go now, but I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

See you,

Jane.

Explanation:

When writing a letter to a friend, we have to use an informal style.

In the first paragraph, we have to write about how we are, ask how the other person is, and introduce the letter's topic. In the second paragraph, we describe the fashion show in detail. In other words, we write about the charity, our role in the show, and what happened. Lastly, we write our final paragraph to say our goodbyes and ask the person for a response.
