Inside , I found a handwritten letter from my mother , who I had n't heard from for several months . She wrote me a two-page letter in messy and scribbled cursive , telling me about the ups and downs of her rather boring life . I sighed and tucked the letter into my desk drawer . I pulled out a fresh sheet of paper and began to write , " Dear Mom " , hoping that I still had a stamp to send it with . Question: Who was it that finished the letter?

PROBLEM: Passage: I am getting hungry and it 's almost time for dinner . I think that I would like to eat soup tonight . I look on the Internet for a good recipe for soup and gather the ingredients I will need . I read the recipe to find out how to make the broth for the soup , and prepare the broth . I then cut up the carrots and potatoes into small chunks , and throw them into the broth . The broth is hot on the stove in a pot , so I am careful not to touch it when I put the carrots and potatoes in . The recipe says the beef has to be cooked separately , so I set a frying pan on a burner on the stove . Once the beef is cooked , I throw it into the broth and let everything sit for an hour or two . The soup is now ready . Question: What's in the soup besides carrots and beef? Option1: Potatoes. Option2: beef
