mother in law

C.
ladies'

D.
self reliant

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer would be letter A. There is no error in this sentence. The word mother-in-law is used correctly. It should include hyphens because it is a compound word; it consists of words joined together to form a new word with a new meaning. Self-reliant is also a compound word like mother-in-law. Ladies should not have an apostrophe because it does not show ownership.

Kevin said that before his family became homeless, he never thought of himself as happy or comfortable. He just thought it was the way life was. In a few sentences, explain what Kevin might have meant by this. Write your answer on the lines below.

Answers

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Kevin's statement suggests that he grew up in a situation of poverty or instability, possibly facing financial challenges or housing insecurity from a young age. In his family's circumstances, happiness and comfort might have been scarce, and he may not have experienced a more stable or affluent lifestyle to compare it to. Therefore, he had no frame of reference to understand that there could be a different, more comfortable way of life. This statement highlights the idea that our perception of happiness and comfort is often shaped by our life experiences and the environment we grow up in.

Answer:

Now that Kevin is homeless he is probably enjoying the little things there is in life and focused more on himself and his happiness more than ever now that he has nothing. He might have meant he wasn't grateful for the things he had until he lost them.

AnnaandgodRead the passage from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” Occasionally, though, Mrs. Flowers would drift off the road and down to the Store and Momma would say to me, "Sister, you go on and play." As I left I would hear the beginning of an intimate conversation. Momma persistently using the wrong verb, or none at all. "Brother and Sister Wilcox is sho'ly the meanest—" "Is," Momma? "Is"? Oh, please, not "is," Momma, for two or more. But they talked, and from the side of the building where I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me, I heard the soft-voiced Mrs. Flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting. They were interrupted from time to time by giggles that must have come from Mrs. Flowers (Momma never giggled in her life). Marguerite’s thoughts in this passage help the reader to infer that Mrs. Flowers feels she is superior to Momma. is embarrassed by Momma. thinks of Momma as a friend. likes to make fun of Momma.
