I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind. ‎ The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.‎ ‎32.

To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?‎ A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B.
