Explanation:

When Rosalyn worries about getting lost, she takes action by getting a pencil and paper to make a map (10 steps - tree, 12 left - bush). This shows she is resourceful. When she sees Peanut, she nearly sheds tears of joy, showing she is caring and attached.

Answer:

• For "Rosalyn worries about getting lost, too": Rosalyn gets a pencil and paper to make a map (shows resourcefulness).
• For "Rosalyn sees Peanut": Rosalyn nearly sheds tears of joy (shows she is caring/attached).

Rosalyn is a resourceful and caring person. She is resourceful as when she worries about getting lost, she makes a map (10 steps - tree, 12 left - bush). She is caring as she is very upset when Peanut is lost (because Gram loves Peanut) and nearly cries tears of joy when she sees Peanut again.
