Read the excerpt from the story Hayden and Henry Go to Camp:

Every summer, the boys' parents sent them to a summer camp in New York State for a month. Henry loved it. Hayden hated it. For Hayden, the time away was a nightmare. Henry tried to convince his brother that camp was actually amazing, but every year it was the same: Hayden refused to try new things and mostly sat on the sidelines while the other boys had the time of their lives. Because the boys had been going to camp since they were 7 years old, all the counselors knew them well and understood how different they were. They would try to cajole Hayden into joining in, but after the first few days, they would let him be and allow him to read his books during sport and activity times.

The boys had turned 13 in April, so this would be their last summer at camp. Henry was therefore more determined than ever to help Hayden enjoy their time away. As they drove up the long, dirt road toward the camp with their parents, it was Henry who first spotted the banner advertising new activities.

Select the detail that shows how the two brothers are similar.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

B shows contrast, loving and hating are opposites, NOT similarities.

C doesn’t show anything, it just says that Henry tries to convince his brother that camp is deaf even though it always falls on deaf ears,

D just tells you that Hayden likes to read instead of pyhsical activities
