(17) It was time for Rueben's mom to examine the tamarins, so they headed to the Primate Discovery Center. They walked into the

veterinarian's room so that his mother could examine the tamarins. The public wasn't allowed to see them until Rueben's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy. The room was white, very sterile, and looked like an operating room that you would see on TV. Rueben's eyes widened and a look of uneasiness crossed his face. He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.
(18) "Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit. We want to make sure they are healthy enough to be put into their enclosure," she said. Just then, a zoo employee brought in the two tamarins, and Rueben immediately understood why they were called cotton-top tamarins. Each of them had a white tuft of hair on top of their head. The zoo employee told Rueben and his mom that these two tamarins were the first of many to come to the zoo. If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

How do the events in paragraphs 17 and 18 contribute to the reader's understanding of Mom's feelings toward Rueben?

a
By entering into the vet's room, his mom shows that she doesn't care about Rueben's feelings.

b
By entering into the vet's room, his mom shows that she is really excited to see the tamarins.

c
By telling him not to worry, his mom shows that she is embarrassed by Reuben's fear.

d
By telling him not to worry, his mom shows that she wants to reassure Reuben and calm him.

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

C) is the greatest option because it clearly explains the causes for the false warning and its impact.

Explanation:

This passage from "The Great Fire" features a cause-and-effect framework that helps viewers comprehend why firemen responded ineffectively. We're told that the initial mistake was made by one man, Schaffer, who struck a different box than would have been optimum. He quickly understood that wasn't the case and ordered box 319 to be struck. The second error is made by Schaffer's assistant, William. He refuses to do as he is told, despite the fact that the instruction came from his supervisor. Firefighters are perplexed by his audacity since he hits the wrong box. As a result, the fire was not effectively battled, and it burned for several terrible minutes because firms didn't know what to do.
