Explanation:

These questions are about analyzing a text (likely a book chapter) regarding Wes's mother's decision and family rules. To answer, one would need to refer to the specific pages (36 - 38 for question 1, page 42 for question 2a) of the text to extract relevant information. For question 1, evaluate the decision using text - based evidence. For 2a, identify the rules from page 42. Since this involves literary analysis and text - based questions, the subfield under Arts is Literature (as it deals with analyzing written works).

Answer:

To answer these questions, refer to the specified pages of the text:

1. For the first question, use the text from pages 36 - 38 to assess Wes's mother's move. For example, if the text shows it provided better opportunities, you could say: "I think Wes’s mother’s decision to move to New York City was a good choice because it offered better educational and life opportunities. OR: In my opinion, moving was a wise choice because it removed him from a less favorable environment."

2a. For the second question, from page 42, identify rules (e.g., if the text says rules like "be home by a certain time", "do homework before playing", then state those).
