<span>This poem is a She Silverstein poem called "The Mask." Silverstein's poems often teach a lesson or explain childhood situations. Often this poem is invoked with a meaning of self-acceptance "be your true self because there are other people just like you, and you'll never know that if everyone conceals their true ways of being." Sometimes, it is invoked to promote people being accepting of others, because we all have a version of metaphorical "blue skin." Taken yet another way, it can even evoke the meaning of shared knowledge or revealing a secret that is concealed. In the end, this poem underscores, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, and shared knowledge: openness in all of its forms. A beautiful poem and meaning. </span>
For this I would choose the first choice, A. "Eileen bought pants but not a new jacket."
A complex sentence is formed by an independent and a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can still be a sentence on it's own. For example, "Eileen bought pants." could be a valid sentence.
A dependent clause is the opposite, and is a part of a sentence that can not still be a sentence on it's own. "But not a new jacket." is not a valid sentence.
I hope this was helpful.

Answer:
D. <u>social referencing.</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Social referencing is one of the most important mechanisms that help a child understand the world around them. Social referencing takes place when an infant observes the facial expressions and affective displays of adults to measure and regulate their own behavior towards situations, people, and objects. In the context provided, Jaden did not know if the clown represented something bad or dangerous, or if it represented something harmless. She only knows the clown is not only safe but supposedly funny after noticing her mother's facial expression and reaction to the clown. Jaden has used social referencing.
