just olya [345]

Answer: A. She wants to talk to her mom about her worries and is hesitant to approach her.

The poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde is meant to give us a glimpse into a teenage girl's mind. The author jumps from one thought to the next in a desperate fashion. The thoughts seem unrelated and scrambled, but they are all concerned with topics that would worry a fourteen year old. The style is meant to give us the feeling of confusion and worry that is common among teenagers.

However, at the end of each nervous train of thought, the girl notices her mother is in the bedroom with the door closed. It implies that she would like some help, and she would like to turn to her mother. But there is some slight difficulty, which is the closed door. However, the obstacle is not difficult enough to put her off the idea completely, which is why she keeps noticing it. This ambivalence leaves her in a constant state of hesitation, but she does not approach her mother in the end.

Texting helps you organise your life, but shouldn't dominate it.

Explanation:

The different tenses in Grammar refer to the use of the verbs in a certain way that will help specify the 'time' of the event. In other words, tenses help us understand the events, whether it is in the past, present, or the future.

In the given blanks, the use of the verbs in parenthesis will be based on the structure of the words. And by using either the simple present or the continuous form, we can understand what events/verbs are done frequently or things we do all the time, or occurring at the same time it is talked about.

The verbs in parenthesis are changed in the present simple or continuous form as follows-
