Answer: since this has been here for 5 hours, it requires an answer. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., is was given the Title Magna Ignius”, or “The Great Fire”, and there were assorted similar names. Each mountain that “exploded into fire” was given its own name; With this detail, one can infer that at that time, the Romans had a limited understanding of Geology, and did not give these “mountains” A common name, like our “Volcano”. That is the purpose served.

The reader can logically predict that the narrator will most
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Watch the movie and then buy his sister a gift she will  enjoy.

Explanation:

The given passage from "The Quinceanera" shows how the narrator was in a dilemma on what to do- either get his sister a gift or go to the movies which he had already planned to see. He knows he has to get the gift but he also did not want to miss the movie.

And then, he mentioned that his sister loved movies so maybe he can get "two birds with one stone". He will go to the movies and get her move tickets for a gift, which simplifies his dilemma. So, going along the narrative, we can best predict that he will go to the movies and then get her a gift she will enjoy.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
