I think you got your question and answer choices mixed up.
For the actual question, the answer is: They represent the next generation of children and suggest the need for protection.
For the correct answer out of the choices: The stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened to allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories is an important way people shape and understand their lives.
I took the test and got 100% so I know both answers! lol
Becket was born about 1119,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on 21 December, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert and Matilda Beket.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman descent,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.

Hi! I’m not exactly sure of the topic you are referring to... but if it’s just about anything, you can make it sound interesting. I’ll give this my best shot. Here we go... stick with me:
Here are some key points to take whatever topic you are thinking of and make it interesting:
• enthusiasm- speak with enthusiasm about this topic. If you’re writing, add exclamation.
• language- use proper wording. For example: a salesman wouldn’t just say: “this product is cool.”
That isn’t persuasive or interesting about the product. That is simply stating his opinion. He could rather say: “this product is made for really everyone! It has complex features and works for all ages.” Therefore, I didn’t mention a product, but it definitely sounds better than just using the basic language.
• facts- when you are talking or even writing about something... you need facts. As I stated in the previous point, when the salesman stated his opinion, it wasn’t as persuasive or nearly as informative as the product with facts was. Knowing about your topic just as a salesman would know his product, will only benefit you in answering the question of how your topic would be interesting.
These were my key points I wanted to highlight and I believe that if you incorporate these points into your answer for the question you asked, it will be of success.
Happy studying! If you have further concerns, just post em in chat. I love to help.
