Answer:

accepting disappointment

Explanation:

Maureen Daly’s short story <em>Sixteen </em>tells the even in the young girl’s life and how she fell in love. The author writes in the first person and describes how the girl met the boy on the skating ring, liked him really much, and how he told her he’ll call her when they parted.

Yet, at the end of the story, we learned that the boy never called her back. After a few days of waiting, the narrator tells us she doesn’t jump at the sound of the phone anymore. Finally, <u>she realizes the boy won’t ever actually call her and ends the story with acceptance of this realization. </u>

<u>It wraps up with the idea that things in life don’t always end up how we want and that we must understand that disappointment is a part of life</u><u>. This important lesson is part of growing up. Therefore,</u><u> the concluding theme of </u><em><u>Sixteen </u></em><u>is accepting disappointment. </u>

Answer:

hello there

Explanation:

With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the U.S. firmly established itself as an independent nation. In 1789, George Washington was elected the first President, initiating the form of government, based on the Constitution, that we recognize today. Before 1789, the young nation had been ruled by the Articles of Confederation, written in 1781 in reaction to years of British rule. By 1787, however, it was clear that a more perfect Union was required; while protecting the independence of member states, the Articles of Confederation did not describe the powers of a federal chief executive or a judicial system. The creation of our Constitution and present form of government was informed by these and other considerations that arose during the years of the Confederation.

From what I can understand, this question is asking for what would describe the phrase "how many". In that case, the answers would be C and D, as they're both describing how many of whatever there is.

"There are four cats in that box."

Good Luck!
