Answer: 1.) When Nene asks Nnaemeka, Have you written to your dad yet?, the word yet implies that they had already had this conversation and Nene is still waiting on him to tell his father but Nnaemeka is possibly stalling because he is uncomfortable with engagement. What this says about their relationship is that they are in an intimate relationship.

What is implied by Nene's use of the word yet in the first paragraph? What can we infer about the characters’ relationship?

Answer:

When Nene asks Nnaemeka “Have you written to your dad yet?” the word "yet" implies that they had agreed he would write to his father, and she´s waiting for that to happen.

Step-by-step explanation:

What this says about their relationship is that they are close, in an intimate relationship. Furthermore, we can infer they don´t agree on whether a letter should be sent soon or not.
