Question

1 ling was walking in the hallway when she saw her younger brother hao, crying roll of the arm a knees classroom. he didnt see her at first, and when he did, he looked embarrassed that he knew that he had stayed late to get extra help. although they rarely talked about it, ling knew that hao was having really understanding math science, and she knew that was a few days ling also knew how much it meant to hao to do well on the test, but science was difficult for hao
2 ling thought about her brothers lot. he was good at english and especially at writing. he loved to write about things that were happening and then have them printed in the school newspaper. he was the youngest person on the newspaper staff. he did that was just an honor. but one was why hao was so talented in english - certainly his mother and father had no idea - but for as long as he could remember, he wanted to be a journalist. he hoped someday to be a foreign correspondent. traveling to foreign places and covering exciting stories. ling remembered that as a child frequently reading and writing things, even before she was interested in doing so.
3 but now, ling was worried about hao and how he was doing in math science. she had never had a problem with any kind of science course. she excelled at chemistry, which she was taking this term, and hoped one day to be a science teacher. she was three years older than hao, and she felt much more secure than he did because she had more experience. she had had her problems in school but worked hard and mastered difficult subjects like english. while writing was second nature to hao, ling had to work hard at it. but she was able, through revising and revising, to create a thoughtful and sound paper which she needed to do so.
4 even though they sometimes about things, ling and hao were very close

a she had never had a problem with any kind of science course.
b she excelled in chemistry, which she was taking this term and hoped one day to be a science teacher
c ling remembered hao as a child frequently reading and writing things, even before she was interested in doing so.
d ling was sure that if she helped him review the material, he would be able to master it

Explanation:

To determine which sentence shows Ling is considerate, we need to understand the meaning of "considerate" (thoughtful of others' needs).

• Option A just states she had no problem with science courses - no indication of being considerate.
• Option B talks about her excellence in chemistry and her hope to be a teacher - not about being considerate.
• Option C is about her remembering Hao's childhood activities - not related to being considerate.
• Option D shows she is thinking about helping Hao review material so he can master it, which is a thoughtful (considerate) action.

Answer:

D. Ling was sure that if she helped him review the material, he would be able to master it.
