Read the excerpt from "i'm not thirteen yet" by amy bernstein.

a. because she does not like summer camp.
b. because she dislikes having her picture taken.
c. because she and margaret are not friends.
d. because the flash from the cameras hurts her eyes.
Answer: c. because she and margaret are not friends.
Explanation:
Jamie is sent for two weeks to summer camp with Margaret, who is part of the “Thirteens” club to which Jamie does not belong. Since Jamie´s best friend, Lynette, has left her to hang out with the other thirteen-year-old girls, Jamie feels left out and resents Margaret from the start. However, that will change when Margaret starts reaching out to Jamie.
Answer:
D.Revise the entire sentence so it reads: Though it is mind-boggling, people maintain their enthusiasm about snow; however, for me, it's nothing more than a commonplace experience.
Explanation:
The revised sentence above is more objective and formal for academic writing. Although both sentences talk about a personal opinion, the second version is more academic because it establishes the opinion of others first and then it introduces the personal opinion, that makes it more objective. Moreover, the original sentence has too many informal elements, while the second option proves to be more fit for academic writing.
Option A = WRONG because although contractions are not usually allowed in academic writing, they can be used and besides, this option does not completely answer the question, we need to change more things to make it right for academic writing.
Option B = WRONG because the sentence is written in simple present.
Option C = WRONG because if we eliminate "it always amazes me when" the rest of the sentence doesn't make sense, it would read "People get excited about snow because for me, it's commonplace"
Answer:
B is correct
Explanation:
The results of one's actions are not always immediately seen, and change happens in small increments.
