To answer question 9, we need to analyze each sentence and determine how it shows that Jenja has matured during the course of the story.

A) "There was only one word for it, and I said it: 'Superblastic!'" - This sentence does not show any indication of maturity. It simply shows excitement or enthusiasm.

B) "This might not just be a summer job; this could be my life's work." - This sentence indicates that Jenja is considering the job as a long-term commitment, suggesting a more mature perspective.

C) "I knew the job was important, but I also knew it was tedious." - This sentence demonstrates that Jenja understands the significance of the job and accepts the less enjoyable aspects of it, reflecting a level of maturity.

D) "The advertisement was right; I would have a superblastic time!" - This sentence is similar to option A, expressing excitement rather than maturity.

Based on the analysis, option B and option C provide evidence of Jenja's maturity. However, option B specifically suggests a higher level of maturity, as it emphasizes a long-term perspective on their career.

To answer question 10, we need to understand the purpose of the flashback at the beginning of the story.

A) "To illustrate how the company advertised the summer job" - This option implies that the purpose of the flashback is to provide information about the job advertisement. However, the flashback does not focus on the advertisement itself but rather on Jenja's motivation to apply for the job.

B) "To explain why Jenja was not the best person for the job" - This option suggests that the flashback provides reasons why Jenja is not suitable for the job. However, the flashback focuses on Jenja's motivation and desire to make a change in their life, not on their shortcomings.

C) "To show why the summer job was so unpleasant" - This option reflects the correct purpose of the flashback. The flashback clearly explains why the summer job was unpleasant, as it describes Jenja's dissatisfaction with their current situation.

D) "To introduce what motivated Jenja to apply for the summer job" - This option accurately captures the purpose of the flashback. The flashback provides a backstory and explains the motivations behind Jenja's decision to apply for the summer job, setting the stage for the rest of the story.

Therefore, the correct answer for question 10 is C) To show why the summer job was so unpleasant.
