Poem:
Momentum part a: which statement best expresses a theme of the poem: 1. Taking risks is a normal part of growing up. 2. Being brave helps us earn respect from others 3. It’s important to have friends who support your decisions 4. We can make poor decisions when we seek approval from our friends Part B: Which lines from the poem best support the answer to part a “your friends won’t try to talk to you out of the barrel” 2. “And you’re so hungry to earn their love you forget. 3. They’re already talking about you as if you’re gone, / as if you boarded a bus and roared out of earshot 4. You know of course / that no ones going second and friends who tell this story / will use the word idiot rolling their hands in the air

I say this because in the story, The author was saying really deep things about their friends, for example, it says "Your friends won’t try to talk you out of the barrel,

or your brag to go first, which has nothing to do with bravery.

And you’re so hungry to earn their love you forget

to claim first your, perhaps, last look at this mountain—

crab apples hanging sour in the sun"

I hope this is the correct answer!
