which two excerpts from passage 1 best support the
answer to part a?

warrior girl, battling the raging black tide of
fear (line 3)

i am confusing (line 21)

i am strangers favorite unsolved puzzle (line
22)

i am my souls temple / a sparkling pinwheel!
(lines 26–27)

i am / i was / i will be / me / eternally / hello.
(lines 29–34)

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume the answer to Part A (likely about self - identity, growth, or overcoming challenges). Let's analyze each option:

1. "Warrior girl, battling the raging black tide of fear (line 3)": This shows a struggle, maybe related to self - discovery or overcoming, but let's check others.
2. "I am confusing (line 21)": This is more about confusion, not strong support for a positive self - identity or growth.
3. "I am stranger's favorite unsolved puzzle (line 22)": Implies being a mystery to others, not about self - realization.
4. "I am my soul’s temple / A sparkling pinwheel (lines 26–27)": Shows a positive self - image, like a temple (sanctuary) and a sparkling pinwheel (joyful, unique), good for self - identity.
5. "I am / I was / I will be / Me / Eternally / Hello. (lines 29–34)": Emphasizes a continuous, eternal self - identity, strong for self - realization.

To support an answer (likely about self - identity/self - realization), "I am my soul’s temple / A sparkling pinwheel (lines 26–27)" shows a positive self - image, and "I am / I was / I will be / Me / Eternally / Hello. (lines 29–34)" emphasizes eternal self - identity. The other options are less relevant (confusion, mystery, or initial struggle without the self - realization payoff).

Answer:

• $\boldsymbol{\square}$ I am my soul’s temple / A sparkling pinwheel (lines 26–27)
• $\boldsymbol{\square}$ I am / I was / I will be / Me / Eternally / Hello. (lines 29–34)
