A.) Mr. Greer told his students about
the first time he rode a bicycle.
He asked Eric to tell him about
his first time on a bike.

B.) Mr. Greer told the children that
his favorite kind of ice-cream
was chocolate. He asked them to

cat that had died. Mr. Greer told
Serena about his cat.

of "The Very Quiet Cricket" to his

(B) is what I think also. Are you sure?

C. is the only different answer. In A, B, and D, Mr. Greer asks the children for their experiences and opinions. In C, Mr. Greer didn't respond to Serena's concern about her cat, but instead talked about his cat. Serena wouldn't be interested at that point in Mr. Greer's cat. I'm sure most kids would tune out his remarks about his cat because they weren't involved.

We listen carefully when we are involved and interested.
