Read the following excerpt from The Pancake Thief. There was a pause, and then Olivia said, "Well, you are a quick one, Hannah. I do think you will indeed make a great detective. In fact, you may be one already. The truth is, Kim's grandpa and I had a silly argument a while ago, and it was over nothing, just foolishness. However, I was making pancakes at the time and Grandpa got so annoyed at me that he said, 'I'm never eating one of your pancakes again!' He wants me to think that he isn't eating the pancakes. But I know he can't resist them, and whenever he smells them, he sneaks in when I'm not here and grabs a few. He doesn't want me to know, so I just pretend that there really is a pancake thief." She smiled at me and said, "But don't tell Grandpa!"

I giggled with delight and relief, knowing that Olivia loved to play games and that there was not an actual thief. My work here was done, and although in the end there was no thief, I still solved a mystery.

Read the following excerpt from The Best of Both Worlds.

Hannah thought that she'd observed enough to make a sensible deduction from Kim's grandma's and grandpa's behavior. Hannah said to the old lady, "Do you mind if I ask you a question? Do you really think there is a thief in your house?" Olivia knew that she'd been found out and smiled at Hannah. "I do indeed think you will make a great detective," Olivia said. "There is method to my madness, though," she said with a smile. Then she explained that she and Kim's grandfather had had an argument a while ago about something silly and pointless while Olivia had been making pancakes. Kim's grandfather was so annoyed that he vowed that he'd never eat them again. They both knew it was ridiculous, but neither of them wanted to back down. Olivia explained that if she kept mentioning the idea of a pancake thief, then Grandpa would know that she knew he was taking the pancakes, but he wouldn't have to admit that he'd gone back on his word. "In a way, if things stay the way that they are, I get to keep my silly story, Grandpa still gets to eat pancakes, and there is no damage to anyone. It's the best of both worlds!"

Which part of the story shows how kiara and tanya's differences affect their friendship? kiara and tanya were the best of friends. when they were 10 years old, they always went everywhere together. all their friends knew that if they found one of them, they would find the other. anyone who didn't know them thought that they were twins because both kiara and tanya had long, silky red hair and pale complexions. they were even similar in height and build. they were more like sisters than friends. but as similar as they were in appearance, they were just as different when it came to their personalities. this difference didn't affect their friendship, at least not for a long time. kiara always got out and participated in activities and competitions. tanya was happiest when reading a book at home. kiara was outgoing and talkative. tanya was quiet and shy. kiara was popular, and people were drawn to her because of her ability to make quick friends. tanya hardly had any friends besides kiara. as they grew older, kiara managed to make a large group of friends. tanya, on the other hand, still remained shy and reserved. this difference in their personalities eventually caused a rift between the two friends. tanya would refuse invitations to parties and movies that kiara invited her to. she just didn't want to hang out with people she didn't know that well. kiara couldn't understand why. she thought tanya disliked her friends. eventually, kiara and tanya both realized that they had outgrown one another. they still remained friends, but they were not as close as they once had been.

Answer asap explain your answer read the explicit message of the "rain barrels" video: you can use water from your rain barrel for a lot of different things around the home and garden. which is the best textual evidence to use to support this message? i use it to fill my fish tank, even to wash the car if you want to. so not only is the rain barrel water free, but it’s also free of chlorine and minerals. a rain barrel is a small investment for big dollar and environmental benefits. one of the benefits of a rain barrel is it holds that first bit of rain that’s coming off the roof or your driveway and prevents it from running into streams and causing erosion from high flows of water.
