The author's repeated use of "She liked it" emphasizes the **persistence of an outward expression of love**. Liz's repeated liking of seemingly mundane things about Jim reveals a deep and persistent affection for him, even if she hasn't explicitly confessed her feelings.

The answer is **C**. 

The passage primarily focuses on the contrasting feelings of Jim and Liz towards each other. While Jim is oblivious to Liz's affections, Liz harbors a strong and growing fondness for him. This contrast is highlighted through the description of their individual thoughts and observations.

**B) Juxtapose two peoples' sentiments** 

We are given the operation ◘ defined as x ◘ y = 2x - 3y + 1.  To find the value of 4 ◘ 3, we substitute x = 4 and y = 3 into the definition.

This gives us: 4 ◘ 3 = (2 * 4) - (3 * 3) + 1.

Simplifying, we get: 4 ◘ 3 = 8 - 9 + 1.

Therefore, 4 ◘ 3 = 0.

Let's break down the problem:

1. **Define Variables:**
   - Let 'w' represent the width of the garden.
   - The length is four times the width, so the length is '4w'.

2. **Perimeter Formula:**
   - The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as: Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

3. **Set Up Equation:**
   - We know the perimeter is 60 feet, so: 60 = 2 * (4w + w)

4. **Solve for 'w':**
   - Simplify the equation: 60 = 2 * (5w)
   - Further simplification: 60 = 10w
   - Divide both sides by 10: w = 6

**Answer:** 6 feet 

The passage states that Jim "noticed that her hair was always neat behind."  This detail shows that Jim has paid attention to Liz's appearance.

The first statement says that all employees of Duluth Paper received a bonus. The second statement says that Andrés did not receive a bonus.  Since both statements are true, we can conclude that Andrés was not an employee of Duluth Paper.

Let's break down the problem:

* The 7th student's verses are calculated as n (verses for everyone) + 2 * (class rank)
* We know the 7th student wrote 20 verses.

Now we can set up an equation:

n + 2 * 7 = 20

Simplifying the equation:

n + 14 = 20

Subtracting 14 from both sides:

n = 6

Therefore, the value of n is **6**.

The statement says "All of Lisa's sisters can bake".  This implies that if someone is Lisa's sister, they can bake.  Let's analyze each option:

* **(A) If Jane cannot bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is true. The statement implies that only Lisa's sisters can bake, so if someone cannot bake, they cannot be Lisa's sister. 
* **(B) If Sarah can bake, then she is not Lisa's sister:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Sarah could be someone else who can bake.
* **(C) If Mary can bake, then she is Lisa's sister:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that everyone who can bake is Lisa's sister. Mary could be someone else who can bake.
* **(D) If Emma is not Lisa's sister, then she cannot bake:** This is not necessarily true. The statement says all of Lisa's sisters can bake, but it doesn't say that only Lisa's sisters can bake. Emma could be someone else who can bake.
* **(E) None of these:** We have already identified one true statement (A).

**Therefore, the correct answer is (A).** 

Let's analyze the statements:

* **Statement 1:** "All members of the chess team are also members of the robotics club." This means if someone is on the chess team, they are definitely in the robotics club.
* **Statement 2:** "No members of the basketball team are members of the chess team." This means if someone is on the basketball team, they cannot be on the chess team.

Now let's examine the answer choices:

* **(A) If Izak is in the robotics club, then he is not on the basketball team:** This is true. If Izak is in the robotics club, he could be on the chess team (statement 1), and since no chess team members are on the basketball team (statement 2), he can't be on the basketball team.
* **(B) If Jerry is in the robotics club, then he is on the chess team:** This is not necessarily true. Jerry could be in the robotics club but not on the chess team. Statement 1 only says that chess team members are in the robotics club, not vice versa.
* **(C) If Lisa is on the basketball team, then she is not in the robotics club:** This is true.  If Lisa is on the basketball team, she can't be on the chess team (statement 2), and since all chess team members are in the robotics club (statement 1), she cannot be in the robotics club. 
* **(D) If Sanjit is on the chess team, then he is on the basketball team:** This is false. Statement 2 clearly states that no chess team members are on the basketball team.
* **(E) If Seong-Jin is not in the robotics club, then he is not on the chess team:** This is true.  If Seong-Jin is not in the robotics club, he cannot be on the chess team because all chess team members are in the robotics club (statement 1).

**Therefore, the correct answer is (A).**

Here's the reasoning:

1. We know the Grandmother is in Denmark and has the gold doubloon.
2. The son doesn't have the gold doubloon or the silver watch, and he's not in Denmark.
3. The mother has the silver watch, and she's not in Mexico.
4. Since the Grandmother is in Denmark, the mother can't be in Denmark either (the family members are in different locations).
5. The person in Britain has the broken sword.
6. The family member in Egypt has the family tree.
7. This leaves Canada as the only remaining location for the mother.

Therefore, the Mother is in **Canada**.

To find the time it takes to travel a certain distance at a constant speed, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

In this case:

* Distance = 60 miles
* Speed = 30 mph

Therefore, the time it takes John to reach the park is:

Time = 60 miles / 30 mph = 2 hours

**Answer: 2 hours** 

We need to find all integers between 100 and 199 that have exactly one duplicate digit.  We can break this down by considering the possible duplicate digits:

* **Duplicate Digit is 1:** The only possibility is 110.
* **Duplicate Digit is 2:** The possibilities are 122, 102, and 120.
* **Duplicate Digit is 3:** The possibilities are 133, 103, and 130.
* **Duplicate Digit is 4:** The possibilities are 144, 104, and 140.
* **Duplicate Digit is 5:** The possibilities are 155, 105, and 150.
* **Duplicate Digit is 6:** The possibilities are 166, 106, and 160.
* **Duplicate Digit is 7:** The possibilities are 177, 107, and 170.
* **Duplicate Digit is 8:** The possibilities are 188, 108, and 180.
* **Duplicate Digit is 9:** The possibilities are 199, 109, and 190.

There are a total of 27 integers that meet the criteria.

**Answer:** 27 

✅

Let's analyze the information:

1. **Britain - Broken Sword:** This tells us the person in Britain is not the son (since he doesn't have the broken sword).
2. **Son - Not Denmark, Not Gold Doubloon, Not Silver Watch:** This eliminates Denmark for the son and tells us he has either the broken sword, the oceanic map, or the family tree.
3. **Egypt - Family Tree:** This confirms that the person in Egypt is not the son (since he doesn't have the family tree).
4. **Mother - Silver Watch, Not Mexico:** This tells us the mother is not in Mexico and therefore not the person in Britain (who has the broken sword).
5. **Grandmother - Gold Doubloon, Denmark or Canada:** This tells us the grandmother is either in Denmark or Canada.

Now, let's consider the daughter:

* She has the oceanic map.
* The son doesn't have the oceanic map (he has either the broken sword, the family tree, or the silver watch).
* The grandmother doesn't have the oceanic map (she has the gold doubloon).
* The mother doesn't have the oceanic map (she has the silver watch).
* The person in Britain doesn't have the oceanic map (they have the broken sword).
* The person in Egypt doesn't have the oceanic map (they have the family tree).

This leaves only one possibility: the daughter is the person in **Mexico**. 

**Mexico**
