they never tell you is that when you’re eleven, you’re also ten,
and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and
three, and two, and one. And when you wake up on your
eleventh birthday you expect to feel eleven, but you don’t. You
open your eyes and everything’s just like yesterday, only it’s
today. And you don’t feel eleven at all. You feel like you’re
still ten. And you are—underneath the year that makes you
eleven.

At what time of day was Adam born?
What does Pauline mean when she refers to the purple-and-fine-linen class in
Paragraph 11?
Answer:
She meant a royal and wealthy class.
Explanation:
Materials made of purple and fine-linen were especially difficult to sew and were thus reserved for the royal families in ancient times. When Pauline was thinking about Joan she acknowledged that even though Joan's father did not make much as a countryside doctor, Joan dressed well enough and had an air that belonged to the purple-and-fine-linen class. This means that Joan had the disposition of a wealthy child.
Pauline could think of Joan in this light because she was a wealthy snob.

Llene los espacios en blanco con la forma correca del futuro (going to /Will ) 1. Next summer I ____buy a new house. 2. I am quite tired; I____ go to bed now. 3.

I talked to John yesterday; we_____ visit you tomorrow. 8. I am sorry dad; I____ drink and drive again. 9. Watch out! That man____ punch you. 10. It is really hot in here; I___ the window.
Answer:
1. Next summer I am going to buy a new house.
2. I am quite tired; I will go to bed now.
3. I believe Laura will like her brand new car.
4. Look at those guys! They are going to rob the bank.
5. I promise, I won't do it again.
6. I think she will crash my dad's car.
7. I talked to John yesterday; we are going to visit you tomorrow.
8. I am sorry dad; I won't drink and drive again.
9. Watch out! That man is going to punch you.
10. It is really hot in here; I will open the window.
Explanation:
We use the future simple with -will-, to talk about predictions, where we do not know if an event or action is going to happen since there is no evidence to confirm it. Another use of will is to make promises, like in sentence number 5 ( I promise, I won't do it again.) and lastly to talk about decisions made at the moment like in sentence number 2 or 10 where the person decided at that moment what to do.
We use going to talk about arrange plans for the future, like in sentence number 1 or 7 where there is a plan to buy a house in the future or to visit someone on an exact date. The other use of going to is to talk about an action or event that is going to happen in the future and that there is evidence to confirm it. Like in sentence number 4, where the people saw the thieves, or in number 9, where the other person was moving the arm to punch him, this is evidence that an event is going to happen.

C) Nelda relies on Tracy and fears she will not find a friend like Tracy in her new neighborhood
D) Nelda really likes Tracy, but Nelda's parents would like Nelda to have different friends and spend less time with Tracy

muggy July day
B) The wind pressed in on Nelda's shoulders, humming in her ears, bringing with it shivers and still more fragments of elusive memories
C) The move to another state, because of her parents' employment relocation, would be stressful but exciting. There would be new friendships to form

Part (A) The inference that can be made about the relationship of Nelda with Tracy is that Nelda values Tracy and sees her as a friend. Thus, option (A) is correct.
Part (B) the text that supports the option from part (A) is -" The wind pressed in on Nelda's shoulders, humming in her ears, bringing with it shivers and still more fragments of elusive memories". Thus, option (B) is correct.
What is the meaning of inferences?Inference refers to the results, outcome or conclusion of the particular things. The conclusion is based on the facts being provided on the particular information.
The relationship between Nelda and Tracy suggests that Nelda values Tracy and regards her as a friend. This argument can be best supported by the text that The wind brushed against Nelda's shoulders, vibrating in her ears, bringing goosebumps and more shards of illusive memories.
