Answer 1

The Great Invention

List of Characters

Ava – a curious young inventor
Mr. Chen – Ava’s father, a carpenter
Ms. Lin – town mayor
Reporter – local news reporter

Setting:
A small town in the countryside, present day. Ava’s father owns a small workshop filled with wood, wires, and tools. Ava dreams of building something that can help people. Shape

SCENE 1
(Ava is at her father’s workbench, sketching in her notebook. Her father enters, carrying a toolbox.)

Father: Ava, what are you doing up so early?
Ava: I’m designing something new, Dad—a machine that can carry heavy boxes for you!
Father: (chuckling) Machines can’t replace strong hands and hard work.
Ava: Maybe not, but they can help people work faster!
Father: You’re too young to invent anything that works.

Ava: (sighing) You never think I can do big things.
(A knock is heard at the door. The mayor and a reporter enter.)

Ms. Lin: Mr. Chen, I need help with something urgent! The town’s bridge is broken, and the trucks can’t bring supplies across the river.
Reporter: Everyone is talking about how to fix it quickly.
Ava: (excited) Maybe I can help! I could build something that carries boxes over the river.
Father: (laughing) Don’t be silly, Ava.
Ms. Lin: (smiling kindly) Don’t laugh, Mr. Chen. Sometimes big ideas come from small inventors.
Ava: (determined) I’m going to try!
(Lights dim as Ava begins to gather tools.)


SCENE 2
(The next morning. The workshop is filled with gears and ropes. Ava and her father work side by side. The mayor and reporter return.)

Ms. Lin: Is it ready?
Ava: Almost! Just a few more turns of the crank…
(A wooden machine begins to move, lifting a crate across the room using ropes and pulleys.)
Reporter: Incredible! It works!
Father: (amazed) Ava, how did you think of this?
Ava: I used what you taught me about building—just added some science!
Ms. Lin: This machine could help the whole town. Ava, you’ve saved the day!
Father: (smiling proudly) I’ll never doubt your ideas again.
Ava: That’s all I needed to hear.
(The reporter snaps a photo as the mayor shakes Ava’s hand.)

Reporter: Ava Chen, the youngest inventor in the county—this story will be front-page news!
(Everyone cheers. The lights fade as Ava’s machine continues to lift boxes.)

Answer 2

I don’t have the story text, so I can’t pick the single best answer for you. If you paste the passage or summarize the events, I’ll choose and explain.

Meanwhile, here’s how to decide which option is correct:

- Look for the protagonist’s driving motivation (what she thinks about or wants most). The perspective that appears repeatedly and prompts her actions usually shapes the events.
- Check what starts the central problem:
- If the story opens with her experiments or wanting to invent and that leads to problems, choose “Her curiosity about inventing creates the main conflict.”
- If the ending hinges on her being too afraid to act and that directly causes the sad outcome, pick “Her fear of failure ends the story sadly.”
- If a single mistake with tools caused a key setback and that mistake is explicitly because she’s confused, pick “Her confusion causes a mistake with the tools.”
- If she changes plans because she wants fame and that shift redirects the plot, pick “Her dream of fame changes her goal.”
- Find textual evidence (lines showing her thoughts, dialogue, or narrator statements) that ties events to one of these perspectives.

Paste the passage or tell me what happens and I’ll identify the correct choice and cite the evidence.
