Answer:
I am most thankful for my family, they have helped me grow and become the person I am today. Without my family I probably wouldn’t be answering this question right now.
Not everybody has the same luck that I have, Some people have to live with aunts and uncles or even there Grandmas or something so I am great full for that everyday.
I love and support my family with what ever decisions they may make in life and I for one am very thankful for them.
Explanation:
The two main themes reflected in this excerpt are:
- the importance of family commitment
- the imortance of following one's dreams
- The longest part of the text consists of a description of how much Andrew and his parents are going to miss Robert as he leaves, and vice versa. Andrew even explains why it will be particularly difficult in this case: the two brothers have a special bond ("you and I ain’t like most brothers ... we’ve always been together"). The stage directions also indicate how moved the characters are about this departure ("with feeling"), and so does the punctuation, with exclamation marks and short sentences which usually express emotion ("Andy—believe that!").
- It is precisely this emphasis on the family bond that shows how much Robert's dream is important to him, because he is willing to suffer through separation to fulfill his desire to travel the world: "I hate to leave you and the old folks—but—I feel I’ve got to. There’s something calling me."
I can answer questions #1 and 3, as the question #2 is incomplete.
1. The correct answer is B. <span>the time limitations preventing African girls from attending school. The chores African girls had were difficult, and it made their lives more complicated than their brothers'. The author confirms that, but it isn't the focal point, as we can see from the last 3 sentences. Those chores resulted with girls needing more time to arrive at school, and the bicycles solved this problem, making their lives easier.
3. The sentence that should be removed is </span><span>5 There are always jealous people who selfishly do not like to see others succeed, and bicycle racing was no different. Words such as "jealous" and "selfishly", as well as subjective assessments of other people's behaviors, aren't an objective way to tell something. All the other sentences in this summary deal with facts, more or less confirmable.</span>
