Question

which quote from the story best supports the idea that john learns to be more responsible by taking care of rex? i would jump out of bed to feed and walk him. all this meant that i had more to do in the morning. i was building the habit of getting things done. i even started thinking about college.

Explanation:

To determine which quote supports John learning responsibility through caring for Rex, we analyze each option:

• "I would jump out of bed to feed and walk him." describes actions but not the growth in responsibility.
• "All this meant that I had more to do in the morning." focuses on the increase in tasks, not responsibility development.
• "I was building the habit of getting things done." directly shows that caring for Rex (implied by "all this") helped John develop a responsible habit of completing tasks.
• "I even started thinking about college." is unrelated to responsibility from caring for Rex.

Answer:

The quote "I was building the habit of getting things done." best supports the idea that John learns to be more responsible by taking care of Rex.
