Select the correct answer.
I offer Mrs. Patel, my friend's mom, some hot chai. I am proud to have mastered the South Asian art of making tea with milk, sugar, and spice. Today, I am excited to have a native of India try my tea. I even pull out a tray and my nicest mug to treat my guest with the utmost respect.
Her eyes become wide as she takes the mug from the tray. "Wow! Even the mugs are twice the size we have back home," she utters, gasping. "Do you mind serving me only half a cup?"
I give in to her request and offer her half a mug of tea. That is when I realize that everything around me is bigger and more than it should be. I think about my walk-in closet overstocked with clothes I hardly wear. This is just the beginning of my realization. Like many of my peers, I have become wasteful.

Which of these sentences would the author most likely agree with?

A. It is important to have different sizes of mugs.
B. We must visit other countries while we are young.
C. People should only have what they really need.
D. People should try drinking more flavors of hot tea.

Answer:

C. People should only have what they really need.

This is the central idea of the passage. So the author would most like agree with this sentence.

Starting a paragraph with tea is just a way to introduce to audience with author's opinion and to make the passage story like and engaging. With this start author's opinion becomes more relevant. The guest's expression "Wow! Even the mugs are twice the size we have back home," triggers author's realization that he has many extra things in his life. At first it starts with overstocked clothes in his walk-in closet. Then he also realizes that he like many of his peers has become wasteful. So a realization of being wasteful and its regret are the main ideas with which author would most likely agree.

Yes lunch should be longer. If a child doesnt have enough time to eat it could stress them out, and make them eat faster. This could make them choke. Also, students are cooped up in classrooms all day, And we need a time to get our energy out and eat. If students don't get enough time to eat and play then kids could be hurt and get in trouble. While I understand why teachers think that school is more important I don't think it is. I think they are equally important. It is like the saying, " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," If you make the kids sit inside all day And only have 20 minutes outside, They could start to lose focus and get in trouble. While if you get kids maybe a 10 minute break and lunch, They could get there energy out then. Teachers get breaks as well, but students dont get as many. When teachers don't have a class they get a break. They also have a lunch break but theres could be longer. It,s like when you get a bottle and you fill it up with pressure, If you don't let some out It'll explode. When you hold a childs excitment in Its bound to burst out.

An intervention is like a party, allowing them to have a good time before facing reality.
