"As Marty pulled away from the curb, he thought about Sina's answer. He didn't understand it. Her response was ambiguous.

3). Write a paragraph describing all the reasons why Sina shouldn't skip school with Marty.
A: There are many reasons why Sina shouldn't skip school with Marty. First, she shouldn't skip with him because, by this single mistake, her parents could lose their trust in her. Another reason is that Marty is drinking and driving which means being in any vehicle with him is dangerous and life-threatening. The beer itself is yet another reason why she shouldn't skip school with him. She could be involved in an car accident or perhaps be arrested for the mere sight of it.
She also shouldn't skip school with him because she could become expelled or "grounded" by her parents?
