Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"PART A: Which of the following best identifies Duckworth’s claim in the speech? A A common trait that successful people possess is grit, as it pushes them to persevere despite obstacles. B Teachers are unable to help students succeed if they don’t understand what drives them. C Grit is not a trait that is easily developed, rather, it something that people are usually born with. D People who lack talent are more likely to have grit, as they have to work harder for their success. "
Answer:
A. A common trait that successful people possess is grit, as it pushes them to persevere despite obstacles.
Explanation:
Duckworth's speech was focused on exposing that that our experiences and all the activities that we can carry out will present difficulties that we will have to fight with courage. In his speech, he shows that a common characteristic that successful people have is courage, because it leads them to persevere, despite obstacles, he realized this when he was a student and observed that even regardless of his academic success or failure, what will say if he is successful or not is his ability to face the struggles that life establishes. For that, it is necessary to have courage.
Paragraph Two
Noah began racing go-karts when he was just six years old. Noah has traveled to other states to race, win, and finish in the top five, an impressive accomplishment for anyone but especially for a young driver. He now races a 1934 Ford Legends Coupe, a car that weighs 1,000 pounds and goes faster than 100 miles per hour. Noah regularly competes against drivers who are three times older than he is, but he does not let that intimidate him. He explained in one news article, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver. The other drivers don't treat me like a kid. They treat me the same as the other drivers on the track." He has the nickname "Little Gator" partly because of his size and partly because of Gatorland's sponsorship over the last several years.
In paragraph 2, Noah says, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver." What is the implicit meaning of his words?
A. I am very talented because I am able to race against adults.
B. Everyone on the racetrack is equal.
C. All racecar drivers have to wear helmets regardless of age.
D. Older racers are embarrassed to compete against a kid.

Read this excerpt from Blanca Flor by Angel Vigil. Based on the text details in this excerpt, what can be inferred about Juanito (12 points)
The correct answer is C) he does not understand how much danger they are in.
The other options of the question were A) he is in a great hurry to get away from this land. B) he is terribly afraid of being caught by Don Ricardo. D) he will not rest until he and Blanca Flor are safe.
Based on the text details in this excerpt, what can be inferred about Juanito.
I am going to include the text that is missing for a better understanding:
JUANITO: Blanca Flor, we can rest now. We are free. BLANCA FLOR: No, Juanito, we will not be free until we are beyond the borders of Don Ricardo's land. As long as we are on his land, his powers will work on us.
JUANITO: How much farther?
BLANCA FLOR: Remember the river where you met the Duende? That river is the border. Across it we are free.
JUANITO: That river is still really far. Let's rest here for a while.
Although Juanito wants to rest now, Blanca Flor tells him that since they are still in Don Ricardo's territory, they are in great danger. Juanito seems to not understand this big issue, so Blanca Flor has to explain it to him very clear so both can make an effort and continue walking until they cross the river to be safe.

Which part of this story is the resolution?
One morning, my mother discovered she was out of eggs to make a cake. So she sent my sister and me to the market to buy some. She gave
us the coins we needed, a basket and advice to stay close to the road. We set off and were well on our way when my sister heard singing in
the distance. She immediately wandered off to find it leaving the road. I remembered my mother's advice, but I didn't want to leave my sister
alone. I ran after her, trying to get her to come back to the road. But her curiosity got the best of her.
Soon we were in the middle of the woods, and the music grew louder. We looked up and saw what was creating the beautiful sound: a witch.
Before we could do anything, we were caught in her trap. The witch grabbed the trap and started to carry us away. I looked at my sister and
could tell she was remembering our mother's words. It was no time to say "I told you so." We needed to make a plan. I started to sing a song,
The witch stopped in her tracks.
"What's that you're singing, my dear?" she asked with her glowing eyes fixed on me.
"It's a song my mother taught me." I answered. "Let me out, and I'll teach it to you.
The witch thought for a moment. Then she opened the trap and let us out. I sang quietly, so she had to move closer in order to hear the song.
When she was close enough that I could feel her breath on my face, I poked her eyes with a tree branch. Then I grabbed my sister's hand and

Compared to teens a couple of decades ago, the way they interact with traditional media like books and movies is fundamentally different.

What are teens?Adolescence is a time of transitory physical and mental growth that typically occurs between puberty and adulthood. Although adolescence is typically thought of as occurring during the adolescent years, its bodily, cognitive, or cultural manifestations can start earlier and last longer.
