Answer 1

1. a. diary

2. a. mentally disadvantaged

3. b. the misspellings

4. D. useless

Step-by-step explanation:

"Flowers for Algernon" tells the story of Charlie, a man who has a problem that leaves him mentally disadvantaged. This problem is a type of disability that leaves Charli mentally inferior to a healthy adult. Charlie's problem is so serious that initially the inkblot tests he was submitted were inconclusive and did not provide any help to his case.

Cahrlie's story is told from his diaries and we can see his difficulty through the numerous spelling mistakes he writes. However, Charlie undergoes surgery and treatment that stimulates improvements in his situation and little by little we see Charlie's writing getting more correct and refined showing that his intellectual capacity is progressing.
