Explanation:

Part A (First Question):

The recipe's Step 4 explicitly says to ask parents for help, which is an adult.

Part B (First Question):

The step that requires adult help is Step 4, so the two directions from that step are heating water and microwaving evaporated milk, which correspond to options B and C.

Part A (Second Question):

"Local" means situated in a nearby area, as the grocery store is "around your neighborhood".

Part B (Second Question):

The phrase "... around your neighborhood..." directly clues that "local" refers to a nearby location.
