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
Mum knew that I had been fighting, and wanted to know what had happened. I froze. My heart flew out of my chest as icy shivers dripped down my face, she could never know the truth, it would kill her. Little did she know I was only trying to protect her, she couldn’t know that everyone knew her biggest secret, it would consume her, make her vanish from existence. As much as I love my mum, I would never follow in her ways, the twisted secrets and broken friendships, it was not a good way to live, but I guess it was her way.
I’m not sure if you’ll like it or what year/grade your in do what’s appropriate but I hope it helps :)
Answer:
Jason and Sara are friends. They work at the same computer company 2. Jason loves his job. 3. Sara feels stressed at work. 4. They share an office. 5. They work hard. 6. Jason eats three healthy meals every day. 7. He drinks a lot of water. 8. Sara skips breakfast. 9. She orders take-out food from nearby restaurants. 10. Jason and Sara both like sports.
Explanation:
We are supposed to choose between two forms of verbs in the present tense to complete the sentences above. One form is used for the persons "I, you, we, they". The other form - the one ending in -s - is for the third person singular (he, she, it). Therefore, we need to pay attention to the subject of each sentence. Let's choose two of them as an example:
3. Sara (feel/feels) stressed at work. --> The subject here is Sarah, or "she". The correct form of the verb is "feels".
10. Jason and Sara both (like/likes) sports. --> Here, both Jason and Sarah are the subject, which makes it plural (they). The best option then is "like".
