Explanation:

To answer these questions, we analyze the text "Merci Suárez Changes Gears":

1. Who is the narrator? The narrator is Merci Suárez. This is evident from the first - person perspective used in the story (e.g., the use of "I" in the text when describing events and thoughts, which is a characteristic of a first - person narrator, and in this case, the "I" is Merci).
2. How do you know? We know Merci is the narrator because the story is told from her point of view. The text uses first - person pronouns like "I" when describing actions, thoughts, and experiences related to the events in the story. For example, if we look at the context of the story, the narrative voice is personal, as if Merci is directly telling us about her life and the situations she is in, such as her feelings about babysitting the twins.
3. What does Merci think about babysitting the twins? (We would need to look at the specific text from paragraphs 1 - 6, but generally) Merci's thoughts about babysitting the twins can be inferred from her internal monologue or dialogue. If we assume typical content from the story, she might have a mixed feeling. Maybe she finds it a bit challenging or maybe she has some humorous or frustrating thoughts about dealing with the twins' behavior. To get the exact thought, we look at the text evidence. For example, if there is a line like "I sighed as I looked at the twins, wondering how I was going to keep them out of trouble for the next hour" (this is a made - up example for illustration), this would show her feeling of apprehension or concern about babysitting.

Answer:

1. The narrator is Merci Suárez.
2. We know because the story is told from a first - person perspective (using "I") and the experiences and thoughts described are from Merci's point of view.
3. (The answer about Merci's thoughts on babysitting the twins would depend on the actual text in paragraphs 1 - 6. For example, if the text has Merci thinking "Babysitting the twins is going to be a handful, but maybe it will be fun too", then that's her thought. To find the exact thought, we extract the relevant text evidence from the story's paragraphs 1 - 6 that shows what Merci says or thinks about babysitting the twins.)
