Read the excerpt from A Girl from Yamhill. He does not faint. Somehow Mother boosts him along to the parlor couch. Later, after the doctor has gone, I learn that a sudden j*rk on the reins by a team of horses has dislocated the arm, an accident that has happened before in his heavy farm work, for his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of his muscles.

Mother’s determination always supports him to the couch. Which universal theme is present in this excerpt?

A. Hard work often leads to injuries and suffering.

B. People sacrifice and work hard for those whom they love.

C. People who sacrifice for their families are rewarded.

D. A person who works too hard is forced to depend on others.

PS"Sorry I can't put the real word for j*rk because won't let me

The correct answer is:

People sacrifice and work hard for those whom they love. (B)

Explanation:

The keyword in the excerpt "Mother’s determination always supports him to the couch" is "determination". It shows that despite the fact that 'mother' may not have all the capacity and strength to support him to the couch, she still makes the sacrifice and put in a lot of effort to support him because she loves him. Hence the theme is sacrifice and hard work for a loved one

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
