D. "Methuselah went to the hospital and was cured, and Gobaly—well, if I should tell you his name, you might say that you had heard of him as a famous surgeon doctor." ( Paragraph 84)

<h3>What happens in the story?</h3>

In the story, the main character Gobaly is an orphan who lives in a Poor-House. It is Christmas time, and Gobaly knows that he and the other orphans will probably not get any gifts.

However, when Gobaly helps a wounded dog, everything changes. He meets an old doctor who has a big and good heart, and who becomes a Santa Claus for the boys.

<h3>What is the answer to Part A?</h3>

In Part A, we were asked what a major theme of the story is. The answer was letter D. " Good things happen to caring and loyal people." The happy ending of the story was a result of Gobaly's good actions.

<h3>What detail supports the answer?</h3>

In Part B, the detail that supports the previous answer is the one letting us know what happened to the boys. We get to see their happy ending, how their lives changed for the better because of Gobaly's actions.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option.

dezoksy [38]

She returned to her 12th birthday bcuz she thinks it was unimportant. While she was reliving this she realized that all humans are blind. She realized that she took life for granted and did not appreciate the little things. She did not appreciate what she had until she had lost it. In the beginning the other dead people had warned her not to return to the land of the living but she still did it. When she returned she told them "I should have listened to you. That's all human beings are. Just blind people.
