Hello. Although you have presented the text to which this question refers, you have not shown the answer options and you have not shown what was addressed by part A. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
"Why teens find the end of the world so applealing" is a text that shows how dystopic novels have the ability to communicate with teenagers in a very strong way, as it stimulates emotional responses in an unrealistic world to which they can relate. Part A and Part B are directly related to this text. In that case, to answer these questions, you should read the article to answer the Part A question and then look at what options in Part B can justify and show that your Part A answer is correct.
A trigger makes something react.
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the first question is the letter B which is "an older man with a staff in the shape of a serpent."
On the other hand, the best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the second question is letter A which is "<span>the older man gives him a staff."</span>
I hope my answer has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always!
