question 1
which two statements describe the main themes of the text?
a. facing one’s fears can lead to rewarding experiences.
b. life in the city can be both exciting and overwhelming.
c. envying others can lead to dissatisfaction with one’s own life.
d. people face different opportunities and challenges in a new city.
e. family can provide comfort and support during times of change.
f. cities become more crowded and chaotic the longer one lives there.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option in the context of a text (likely about city life or personal growth, given the Brooklyn Bridge image and city - related themes):

• Option A: Facing fears leading to rewarding experiences is a common theme in personal growth narratives, often relevant in stories about adapting to a new city or situation.
• Option B: City life having both exciting and overwhelming aspects is a typical theme when describing urban living, matching the visual of a busy city (Brooklyn Bridge is in New York City).
• Option C: Envying others causing dissatisfaction is less likely a main theme without text evidence of envy.
• Option D: "Sue" is likely a typo (maybe "see"), but even so, this is a general statement, not a strong main theme compared to A and B.
• Option E: Family support during change is not suggested by the image or typical city - themed text here.
• Option F: Cities becoming more chaotic over time is not a common main theme without specific text about time - related urban overcrowding.

The two most probable main themes are A and B.

Answer:

A. Facing one's fears can lead to rewarding experiences.
B. Life in the city can be both exciting and overwhelming.
