Answer:

This is what I put:

At first their relationship wasn't as strong as it is now. The shop owners took her in either because they pitied her or because they truly cared and they showed kindness and took her in. Now they have a really strong bond. "I believe at first they hired me out of pity—a girl, just sixteen, who couldn’t understand their language, let alone speak it, who had but the clothes on her back. But after these two years I’ve wedged my way into their hearts. They undoubtedly have in mine." These details support the idea by proving what their relationship is and how strong it is.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sample answer:

The text reveals that the narrator has formed a strong bond with the family she works for. In the line, “but after these two years I’ve wedged my way into their hearts” shows two things. First, the phrase “wedged my way” shows that the narrator has made a strong effort to be in relationship with the family. Second, the phrase “into their hearts” shows that the family has accepted her as one of the family. Thus, we can infer that the narrator has created a strong bond.

Use which ever you want, it'd be better if you put your own words.
