Explanation:
There were upsides to these trips, I suppose. Mom usually would sing in the car when things got really boring. And, of course, it was always fun watching my sister argue with dad as she made some ardent point about her curfew being too early, or mine being too late. Regardless, it was our arrival at the coast that was the most fun. Depending on what time we did end up getting there, the reception we got from the friends we hadn’t seen since last summer was usually the best part of all. The narrator’s sister would most likely argue
A: by making excuses.
B: with a lot of emotion.
C: by using research.
D: without much energy.
Answer:
B. with a lot of emotion.
Explanation:
I think its B. with a lot of emotion because "ardent" means "enthusiastic or passionate." So the narrator's sister is arguing "with enthusiasm or passion", and a lot of emotion!

How does this theme relate to the author, Sandra Cisneros’s own life? (Use information from the introduction and the NPR article to help you answer this question.) (5 sentences)
T he House on Mango Street is a deceptive work. It is a book of short stories—and sometimes not even full stories, but character sketches and vignettes—that add up, as Sandra Cisneros has written, “to tell one big story, each story contributing to the whole—like beads in a necklace.” That story is told in language that seems simple but that possesses the associative richness of poetry, and whose slang and breaks from grammatical correctness contribute to its immediacy. It is narrated in the voice of a young girl—a girl too young to know that no one may ever hear her—but whose voice is completely convincing, because it is the creation of a mature and sophisticated writer. For example, The House on Mango Street appears to wander casually from subject to subject—from hair to hips, from clouds to feet, from an invalid aunt to a girl named Sally, who has “eyes like Egypt” and whose father sometimes beats her. But this apparent randomness disguises an artful exploration of themes of individual identity and communal loyalty, estrangement and loss, escape and return, the lure of romance and the dead end of sexual inequality and oppression.
The House on Mango Street is also a book about a culture—that of Chicanos, or Mexican-Americans—that has long been veiled by demeaning stereotypes and afflicted by internal ambivalence. In some ways it resembles the immigrant cultures that your students may have encountered in books like My Ántonia, The Jungle, and Call It Sleep. But unlike Americans of Slavic or Jewish ancestry, Chicanos have been systematically excluded from the American mainstream in ways that suggest the disenfranchisement of African-Americans. Although Cisneros uses language as a recurring metaphor for the gulf between Mexican-Americans and the majority culture, what keeps Esperanza Cordero and her family and friends locked in their barrio is something more obdurate than language: a confluence of racism, poverty, and shame. It may help your discussion to remind students that the ancestors of many Chicanos did not come to the United States by choice, but simply found themselves in alien territory as a result of the U.S.’s expansionist policy into country that had once been Mexican.
But although The House on Mango Street will have a particularly strong appeal to Latino students, who may never have encountered a book that speaks so pointedly to their own experience, it is a work that captures the universal pangs of otherness—what Cisneros, in her introduction to the tenth anniversary edition (published by Knopf, $18.00), has called “the shame of being poor, of being female, of being not-quite-good-enough.” It suggests from where that otherness comes and shows how it can become a cause for celebration rather than shame. Few students, regardless of their ancestry or gender, will come away from this book without a strong sensation of having glimpsed a secret part of themselves. For, as Sandra Cisneros has written, “You, the reader, are Esperanza…. You cannot forget who you are.”

4 it (doesn’t, don’t) seem so cold today. *

9 One hundred dollars (is, are) not a lot of money to some people. *
10 Mumps (is, are) one of the most uncomfortable diseases. *
Answers:
1. She doesn’t look very well today.
"She" is a singular pronoun, so you should use a singular verb.
2. Interesting news is what sells our paper.
"news" is a singular noun, one of the exceptions which ends with s.
3. They don't think they’ll win the game tonight.
"They" is a plural pronoun.
4. It doesn't seem so cold today.
"It" is a singular pronoun.
5. A pound of cookies costs about a dollar.
in this case, the subject of the sentence is not the cookies (plural) but rather the pound (singular). thus, the verb should be singular.
6. Gymnastics is easy for Angela.
like in question 2, "gymnastics" is a singular noun. don't let the s at the end fool you!
7. He doesn't speak very well.
"He" is a singular pronoun.
8. Twenty minutes is the amount of time it takes me to get home from work.
this is another tricky one! "Twenty minutes" is actually referring to one block of 20 minutes, or one period of time, thus it is singular.
9. One hundred dollars is not a lot of money to some people.
like the question above, "one hundred dollars" is a collective noun and is singular.
10. Mumps is one of the most uncomfortable diseases.
the explanation for this is similar to q2 and q6.
i hope this helps! :D
