<span>Q1. The answer is c. lessen. To diminish something means to make something smaller. To lessen something is to make it less. In either case, it means to decrease something. Thus, in this sentence "One would think his anxiety would diminish, not increase, once his name was called." 'lessen' can substitute 'diminish'. Q2. The answer is a. character vs. self. In the paragraph, character vs. self-conflict is obvious. Sentences "...he was filled with fear. He did not know what his selection meant. He did not know what he was to become. Or what would become of him." show his unawareness of what will become of him which worries him. This implies self-conflict. Q3. The answer is a. the ability to see and experience things others cannot. In The Giver, the capacity to see beyond is the ability to use not those senses present in the community, but those senses present in the memories. For instance, Jonas has ability to see colours.</span>

Leto [7]

Answer:

She takes him home, feeds him dinner, talks with him, and gives him money to buy some shoes.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's short story "Thank You, Ma'am," tells the encounter of a young boy and his targeted victim. And although the young boy did not succeed in stealing anything from the woman, he still ended up getting more than he had thought he'd get.

Roger was waiting to snatch the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones but the woman's strength prevented him from succeeding in his attempt. To his surprise, Mrs. Jones did not report him to the authorities nor did she punish him. Instead, she took him home, fed him, washed him, talked with him, and then gave him ten dollars to buy <em>"some blue suede shoes."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
