the bodega?
It makes Mr. Al-Sayed think that his son

his son misses while working at the bodega.

Answer: It makes Mr. Al-Sayed realize how much his son reminds him of himself.
Explanation:
From the passage we learn about Mr. Al-Sayed who runs the Bodega and his son Ahmed, who wants to preserve the family legacy and even skips practicing at school so he could work at the store in Saturdays.
While Mr. Al-Sayed converses with his customers, he remembers how the Bodega was opened and how things were at first compared to the present and this made him remark how he thought his son was so much like him at a younger age.
The answer is: novels
As the more powerful middle class began to read, novels became in demand, as well as periodicals.

D) Strolling through the city park late at night we saw several young couples walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.
The answer is A, no change.
This is simply because the other options are not correct in English.
Option B: the second comma is wrongly placed.
Option C: Also a wrongly placed second comma. This creates an unnecessarily long statement with no white space or pause.
Option D: lacks punctuation.
This question is missing the option. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples walking their dogs, as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.
Choose the selection in which the sentence is properly punctuated.
a) NO CHANGE
b) Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.
c) Strolling through the city park late at night, we saw several young couples, walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.
d) Strolling through the city park late at night we saw several young couples walking their dogs as well as a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts.
Answer:
The correct option is a) NO CHANGE.
Explanation:
The sentence is properly punctuated the way it is, so there is no need to change it. The sentence starts with a participial phrase, which must be followed by a comma. Then, we have the main clause. Notice that the verb in the main clause has two direct objects: "several young couples walking their dogs" and "a whole bunch of squirrels scurrying about seeking nuts". Since those two objects are very long, it is appropriate to place a comma before the adverb introducing the second object - "as well as." That will avoid problems in reading and interpreting what words belong to each object. Therefore, the sentence does not need any changes in punctuation.
b. designate a restatement.
c. signify a contradiction.
d. indicate a change in thought.
