Question

passage vocabulary activity questions d a lifelong developmental difference that impacts social skills, communication, and other behaviors 2 how did needham compare her experiences to her son’s? a needham felt their experiences were similar, like how they both struggled to fit in at school. b needham felt their experiences were similar because they both went the same school. c needham felt their experiences were different because she never ha outbursts during class. d needham felt their experiences were different because she had a h time academically.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: States Needham felt their experiences were similar, specifically struggling to fit in at school. This is a plausible comparison of experiences.
• Option B: Saying they went to the same school is not a comparison of their personal experiences (like struggles or growth), but just a school - attendance fact, so less relevant to "comparing experiences".
• Option C: The option text is incomplete, but from what's visible, it starts to suggest a difference based on outbursts, but without full context, and the key in the question is about comparing experiences (similar or different in a meaningful way related to their personal journeys), and the incomplete nature makes it less valid.
• Option D: Also incomplete, and similar to C, the incomplete text and the focus on a different aspect (academic time) without clear context makes it less likely.

So, Option A provides a clear and relevant comparison of their experiences.

Answer:

A. Needham felt their experiences were similar, like how they both struggled to fit in at school.
