Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the question from the commonlit article:

1. Which statement best expresses the central idea of the passage?

2. How does the author introduce the main ideas of the passage?

3. What is the author's main purpose in the article?

4. What connection does the author draw between Quinceanera and bar or bat mitzvahs?

Answer:

<u>1. D. Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration.</u>

<u>2. C. The author explains a number of specific traditions and then summarizes how they are all the same.</u>

<u>3. D. to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures</u>

<u>4. C. Both celebrations and ceremonies involve a religious component and a party.</u>

Explanation:

1. Indeed, we can note from the text the author's emphasis on the coming-of-age ceremony and celebration. Hence, the central idea of the text is best expressed by the statement, "Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration."

2. We can remember in the last paragraph the author after<u> </u>explaining a number of specific traditions he then summarizes how they are all the same by saying,<em> "all these ceremonies demonstrate is that becoming an adult is not something one has to do alone" </em>

<em>3. </em>Yes the text appears to be written in an expository format, done in other to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures.

4. We can easily observe that in Jewish cerelebration (bar or bat mitzvahs) it involves going to a place of worship (the synagogue), while in Quinceanera we are told<em> "The celebration...begins with a mass"</em> (which is a religious component).
