Question

Read the following passage from a personal narrative:

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings were always the toughest. Those were the days that both Mom and Dad had to leave for work early. I had little time to get ready for work myself, as Alise needed to be woken up, given breakfast, and put on the school bus. It was a lot on my shoulders, but it felt good that I was setting a good example for her to follow.

Which is the most accurate analysis of the two topics in this story?

A.The speaker's sister becomes a burden that prevents him from pursuing his dream.

B.The pressure the speaker feels to care for Alise creates inner conflict.

C.The family supports one another in hard times, but the speaker struggles to put his needs second.

D.The speaker's sense of responsibility allows him to be a role model for his sister.

Answer 1

The answer is C because even though the Mom and Dad are running late for work, they still manage to get Alise ready for school.

Answer 2

C.The family supports one another in hard times, but the speaker struggles to put his needs second.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a family whose members help one another. This is reflected when the speaker says: "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings were always the toughest. ......for work early". The speaker makes the effort to manage the little time he has to get ready to work and to see to his sister; he says so in these words: "I had little time to get ready for work myself, ...". Yet, he is willing to take care of his sister: I was setting a good example for her to follow."
