Question

sometimes tony would blush, especially when she teased him in front of other people.
\dont be such a baby,\ anna would say. \try something interesting, like photography.\ shed snap a photo of tony and laugh.
tony kept sewing, though. when he was older, he took classes in fashion design. he began sewing for friends. soon other people asked him to design clothes for them. tony became well known in fashion circles.
eventually, tony hired anna as a fashion photographer. her job was taking pictures of his work!
based on the passage, compare and contrast tony and anna.

	tony	anna
determined
embarrassed
mean
artistic

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each trait:

• Determined: Tony kept sewing and pursued fashion design (determined). Anna’s actions (teasing, later working as a photographer) don’t show determination as directly, but Tony clearly is.
• Embarrassed: The passage says Tony blushed (embarrassed), while Anna teases (no embarrassment).
• Mean: Anna teases, but “mean” is harsh; Tony is not mean. Anna’s teasing is playful, not mean, so neither is mean.
• Artistic: Tony designs clothes (artistic), Anna is a fashion photographer (artistic).

For the table:

• Determined: Tony (✓), Anna (✗) (Tony’s persistence in sewing/design shows determination; Anna’s actions don’t emphasize determination).
• Embarrassed: Tony (✓), Anna (✗) (Tony blushes; Anna teases, no embarrassment).
• Mean: Tony (✗), Anna (✗) (Anna’s teasing is playful, not mean; Tony is kind).
• Artistic: Tony (✓), Anna (✓) (Tony designs, Anna photographs fashion—both artistic).
