Which statement about dictionaries is true? an abridged dictionary usually contains more words than an unabridged dictionary. an unabridged english-language dictionary is a shortened dictionary for everyday use, and it is the dictionary that most people have in their homes and offices. an unabridged dictionary of the english language attempts to cover all the words in the language and gives information on each word’s history. abridged means “not limited or condensed.”

I believe the answer is:

A) The author presents a problem the characters face and its solution.

Explanation:

I believe it is A because it shows a problem about how they were trying to get to Thailand on a boat and were worried about pirates coming after them because of the two teenage girls and the mother. So the father took the five year old and the three year old so that they could travel to Thailand safely because the pirates wouldn't bother them if they only had two little children.
