On pages 189-190, in the book If I Stay, Mia's father was in a band, and wrote a song called Waiting for Vengeance. While physically unconscious in the hospital, Mia sings the songs to herself and thinks about how the lyrics apply to her at this point in her life. Below are the lyrics to the song used in the book. Read and analyze each stanza (group of lines) for connections to the plot. How does this song represent what Mia is going through or the choice she has to make? Replace the red lines with notes and connections between Mia and the song (there is an empty line after all the major connections to make), then answer the questions below using complete sentences. Waiting for Vengeance
by Oswald Five-O
Well, what is this? 1
What am I coming to?
And beyond that, what am I going to do?
Now there's blankness
Where once your eyes held the light 5
But that was so long ago
That was last night

Well, what was that?
What's the sound I hear?
It's just my lifetime 10
It's whistling past my ear
And when I look back
Everything seems smaller than life
The way it's been for so long
Since last night 15

Now I'm leaving
Any moment I'll be gone
I think you'll notice
I think you'll wonder what went wrong
I'm not choosing 20
But I'm running out of fight
And this was decided so long ago
It was last night 23

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
