Answer 1

Rose would likely find that William has to spend a lot of time caring for his siblings due to his family's working-class status and his mother's absence, limiting his opportunity for extracurricular activities. Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information about William's family situation, where his family is supported by his father's earnings from a convenience store and the absence of his mother, it is most likely that Rose would discover that William must spend much of his time out of school caring for his siblings (Option D).

Children from working-class families often bear significant responsibilities at home, including childcare for younger siblings, especially when a single parent is working to support the family. This situation may limit their opportunities for extracurricular activities such as sports or clubs. Furthermore, the added responsibility and financial pressures can create a challenging environment that affects their educational and social opportunities. Option D
