Your mother has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and is given six (6) weeks to live. Your mother requests that she would be given a chance to make amends to your sister, who she had not talked to the past couple of years. This was because your sister had stolen a considerable sum of money from your family’s bank account and was never apologetic about it. Knowing she is about to die, would you grant your mother’s wish?

Jl. Jambu 129 Bima30th January 2023Dear Frodi,It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.Your sincere friend,Jean“You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow.” What is the closest meaning of word “sincere”?a.caringb.curiousc.honestd.generouse.real

My sister Natalie wanted to grow up in seconds and not in years. I was left behind to catch up in real time. Only two years apart, I also felt decades away from her. Natalie wanted privacy, personal room, and mother’s pretty possessions at ten. I longed for her cuddles, which she only dispensed when she had upset me and was sorry. I loved my big sister with every ounce of my being though she felt weighed down by my displays of affection.  “When I was your age, your aunt Jen and I weren’t close,” our mother confessed. “Now, we can’t get enough of each other. Your grandparents are really old, and we share our worries and responsibilities, you know.” I wasn’t ready to think about that—my beautiful mother being frail or my towering father using a cane. I suspected Natalie would be ahead in the care arrangements and that I would try to play catch-up. I wondered if I would always be just a shadow in Natalie’s life until the day I caught her sobbing in the hallway.  “You didn’t see anything,” Natalie said between sobs and rushed to her room, which she didn’t seal with a locked door.  Entering her neat room, which was a furniture catalog, was a privilege. The veneer of the green curtains added a layer of beauty to the windows. Except for crumbled tissues in the trashcan, nothing seemed unkempt. What had been bothering my perfect sister? “What’s wrong?” I asked and sat on the edge of the bed to take up the smallest possible space. Then, I spotted a broken friendship bracelet by the night lamp. How could I have not noticed before? Carly hadn’t come over in months. Natalie wasn’t on the phone every free minute of Saturday and Sunday. I had been buried in books and band practice and failed to see my big sister’s loneliness. “Do you want to watch Zombie Cheer together? We don’t have to talk. We can just be…together.” Natalie lunged at me to hold me tight and wailed until my hair was damp. I let her. Then, she dried her face with tissues and took me by the hand to the living room. Mother had already set up two big bowls of popcorn, which looked like heaps of comfort. Mother always knew everything. QuestionRead the dictionary entry for tower. tower \tou-er\ noun1. a high building or structure 2. a structure used for a stronghold? verb3 to stand hightower \toh-er\ noun4. a person who tows?Which definition best matches the way the word towering is used in paragraph 3?ResponsesA Definition 1Definition 1B Definition 2Definition 2C Definition 4Definition 4D Definition 3

You and your wife had been in an accident. She had several internal injuries, but her heart was the most damaged. She needed a heart transplant as soon as possible, especially after an ultrasound revealed she was also pregnant with your child. To save both your wife and child, she needed a donor within 24 hours, which was impossible given the long process of organ transplant. While feeling slowly dying from the injuries and hanging on only by a thread, what would you do?
