Question

are people i dont really think of until i get an occasional photo or formal letter like this. i wish i knew them better. \when will you all come to visit pakistan?\ thaya jaan asks, as if hes reading my mind. \it has been too long.\ \soon, bhai jaan, we will visit,\ baba says. \we have been talking about it, but it is hard.\ thats true too. i often hear my parents talk about visiting pakistan family again, but then they add that it isnt the right time to be away from work, or that we shouldnt miss school what has aminas family not done in a long time? they have not eaten dried dates. they have not visited pakistan. they have not gone to school or work. they have not given gifts to friends.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text. The relevant part is "Soon, Bhai Joan, we will visit," Baba says. "We have been talking about it, but it is hard." and also the context about visiting Pakistan. So we check the options:

• Option A: The text doesn't mention gifts to friends, so eliminate.
• Option B: The text talks about "it isn't the right time to be away from work, or that we shouldn't miss school" but the question is about what they haven't done in a long time. The key is about visiting Pakistan, not school/work absence as a long - term action. Eliminate.
• Option C: From the dialogue, they are planning to visit Pakistan soon, implying they haven't visited in a long time. This matches.
• Option D: The text has no mention of dried dates, so eliminate.

Answer:

C. They have not visited Pakistan.
