Explanation:

Passage 1

• "It's not good to assume the worst about people." is developed. Zara was worried about Jan's reaction (assuming the worst - that Jan would be upset), but Jan was actually excited. This shows that assuming the worst about people (Jan) was wrong.
• "Small things should not get in the way of friendship." is developed. Zara was worried that giving a "stupid" gift (small thing) would affect her friendship with Jan. But Jan was happy, showing that the small thing (gift concern) didn't ruin the friendship.

Passage 2

• "Change can be difficult but good." is developed. Maya was worried about the new school (change - new environment). But then she made a friend (good outcome of the change - new school experience).
