PART A Which question is left unanswered in paragraphs 1 and 27 A Why does the family need help? B How will the siblings achieve their goal? C Why are the siblings leaving their home?

Answer 1

**PART A:**The correct answer is **B. How will the siblings achieve their goal?**Paragraphs 1 and 2 establish *that* the siblings are going west to seek a brighter future due to hardships, but they don't explain *how* they plan to achieve this brighter future. What are they going to *do* in the west? Start a farm? Mine for gold? These paragraphs don't tell us.**PART B:**The correct answer is **D. "Desperate times called for desperate measures, so Jack, Anna, and Samuel were boldly embarking on a quest, though they hardly as yet knew what they hoped to discover." (paragraph 2)**This sentence explicitly states that the siblings are on a "quest," but they don't know what they hope to discover. This reinforces the idea that their method for achieving a better future is unknown. The other options describe the *what* (going west) and the *why* (hardships), but not the *how*.
