Answer:

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the action/ verb is something that's done in the past. This is identified by the phrase "for the past five years", meaning it is an action that's been done in the past, that happened some years before the present.  Therefore, the verb "volunteer" will be used on the past form "volunteered".

So, the newly revised sentence will become-

Mary Jean and Beth <u>volunteered</u> for the past five years at a local shelter for abused pets.

In the fourteenth paragraph, Matilda’s mother’s disclosure that "I didn’t know if I was looking at a bad man or a man who loved
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Matilda recognizes her mother’s weakness.

Explanation:

Matilda's Mother's disclosure that "I didn't know if I was looking at a bad man or a man who loved me" made Matilda feel a little uneasy about being told such a thing, which she considers to be adult talk. However, it made her realize something and change her perception of her mother.

She realized that her mother is still stuck at an earlier period in her life where she suffered a disappointment from Matilda's father. Matilda realized that whatever it was that her father did is still stuck in her mother's head and she hasn't moved on from it.

The paragraph <em>Miss Havisham remains in her wedding gown for an event that has been and gone. I had an idea my mum was stuck in a similar moment. Only it had to do with an argument with my dad. Her frown gave her away. A frown that could be traced back to the original moment. I had an idea that whatever my dad had said still rang in her ears, </em>confirms that Matilda recognizes her mother's weakness of not being able to move on from what happened to her in the past.
