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.

Answer:

B. Research shows that some junk food ads target kids.

Explanation:

Option B is the sentence that contains evidence for the main idea of the passage.

From the passage, we are given evidences of the research that actually shows that some junk food ads target kids. The Public Library of Science showed that ads aimed at kids actually focused on toys that come with junk food than on the food itself. The use of TV shows and movies connected to children is another way that fast--food restaurant are targeting kids with their ads.
