Explanation:

Translate the French passage

The passage translates to: "Hi, I'm Nick, and when my brother Tom comes home from high school, he hears: 'You vacuum the entryway, then you wash the coffee machine in the kitchen today!' But at our house, Tom never does the cleaning! He waters the flowers and in the afternoon, he does his homework on the terrace. In the evening, I feed the dog, the cat, and the whole family too."

Analyze Tom's activities

According to the text, Tom does not do the indoor cleaning chores he is told to do ("Tom ne fait jamais le ménage!"). Instead, he waters the flowers ("il arrose les fleurs") and does his homework on the terrace ("il fait ses devoirs sur la terrasse").

Analyze Nick's activities

In the evening, Nick feeds the dog, the cat, and the whole family ("je nourris le chien, le chat et toute la famille aussi").

Evaluate the options

• "They relax together": Not supported; they are doing chores, homework, or feeding others.
• "They share the yard work": Not supported; only Tom works outside (watering flowers), while Nick feeds animals and family.
• "They both do chores at home": Supported. Tom waters the flowers (an outdoor chore) and Nick feeds the pets and family (household chores).
• "They tackle the cleaning together": Incorrect; the text explicitly states Tom never does the cleaning ("Tom ne fait jamais le ménage!").

Select the correct option

The most accurate statement is that they both do chores at home.

Answer:

• They relax together
• They share the yard work
• They both do chores at home (Correct answer)
• They tackle the cleaning together
