Which detail best shows Maggie’s relationship with her mother? excerpt from A Good Place for Maggie by Ofelia Dumas Lachtman Eve

n getting away from home this morning hadn’t been too bad. It was spring vacation, and her mom and stepfather were away on business. The only person she had to explain to was the neighbor woman who looked in on her. The hard part had been figuring what to say to her mother. She had sat staring at a blank sheet of paper for a long time. She knew what she wanted to write: “Dear Mother, It was bad enough after the divorce, being without Dad, I mean. After a couple of years I got used to seeing him mostly on weekends, but now it’s worse. Because he’s dead. Three whole months and I still can’t believe it. Maybe you can’t help being away so much, but with both of you gone it’s awfully lonely. Sure, there’s been school, and I did have dinner at Mim’s house and a move with Lorena on Saturday. But the good things are missing. Dad. Dad. Dad. I don’t feel that I’m part of a family anymore. Jase is a good enough stepfather, but I told you both how I felt about that condo in downtown L.A. and you guys went ahead and bought it. It’s a terrible place. All there is to breathe inside is processed air and outside, car exhaust. My vote doesn’t count, does it, Mom?” That’s what she wanted to say, but didn’t. “Mom,” she finally wrote, “I’ve gone to Twisted Creed. Papacito said he’d be there if I needed him. He won’t mind. After all, he is my only living grandparent. I’ll drive carefully, I promise. Please, please don’t be mad at me.” Then she had shoved two more sweaters into her suitcase, picked up her paint box and favorite brushes, and left.

Select the correct texts in the passage.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

<u>"Andre's heart sank. While he had been painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, someone else had casually driven off with his car. All his hard work had  been for nothing."</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>the use of reflection to develop a narrative by an author often involves mentioning occurrences that led to a change of events.

In this instance, <em>reflecting </em>on the fact that Andre was painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, resulted in him unable to purchase the car he had in mind initially, thus, adding this detail leads to further development of the narrative.

20 POINTS PLEASE HELP!Based on your reading of the following passage, in what ways do the events of 9/11 provide a good example
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Both immediate and longer term industry responses to the security failures related to transportation showed

that various security holes existed between businesses in transportation chains from all modes and that many

transportation businesses were unaware of how other links in their chain handled safety issues, or if they did at all.

The regulation concerns areas that present safety concerns and may cause loss of life.

The inability of players in transportation chains to identify who was handling safety issues and how they were handling them

highlights a need for clarification of duties and roles within the industry.

The

investigation of the 9/11 events have further highlighted widespread and serious security flaws in the transportation

industry, such as the lack of regulation of flight schools and the use of water transportation to ship potentially lethal

items such as explosives. Unfortunately, the various security precautions that have placed a financial burden on

transportation companies change frequently and are often ineffective.
