Read the passage. Lucinda’s father feels strongly that Lucinda should leave her phone home on their weekend trip to visit her grandmother. He thinks it would be rude and disrespectful for Lucinda to text during the visit, especially since she only sees her grandmother once a year. Lucinda strongly objects to this plan. She tells her father that she needs to stay informed on social media. She also needs to keep in touch with her friends because they are working on a school project.
Answer
A
Lucinda explains the situation to her grandmother and gets her to agree to let Lucinda use her phone.
B
Lucinda agrees to leave her phone at home and catch up with her friends in school on Monday morning.
C
Lucinda agrees to check her phone once in the morning and once in the evening, and leave it off for the rest of the day.
D
Lucinda uses her phone as she normally would but puts it in silent mode so it does not disturb her grandmother.
Explanation
Lucinda can respect her father’s concern and still keep up with important messages by setting limits on phone use. Checking once in the morning and once in the evening leaves most of the visit free for spending time with her grandmother. Using her phone as usual, even on silent, could still distract her from the visit.
