Which option best describes two themes in this story? Laura helped her parents on their farm every day. In the summer, the
hay needed to be harvested so that there would be food for the cows
in winter. Every day for two weeks, Laura's parents reminded her that
she needed to help with the harvest, but Laura wanted to play with her
friends instead. Then it rained for two weeks straight, and the hay was
left a muddy, soggy mess.
In winter, Laura's family brought the cows into the barn, but there was
not enough hay to feed them. Her parents offered her a choice: She
could sell one of the cows, or she could spend her own money to buy
extra hay from the neighbors. Laura bought the extra hay, and for the
rest of the winter she was reminded of how much it had cost her every
time she had to turn down going shopping with a friend.

A. (1) It is better to buy from people you know. (2) Honor your
parents' wishes.

B. (1) Knowing your own desires is better than following others. (2)
Never put work off for the future.

C. (1) One should prepare for the future. (2) Work comes before play.

D. (1) Family is a great gift (2) You should honor your family
traditions.

C. "(1) One should prepare for the future. (2) Work comes before play." seems like the most likely option. I hope this helps.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?

the positive connotations of the words "pretty," "quiet," and "silence" give the excerpt a tone of nervousness. i think its this
