A noun phrase is formed by a noun or pronoun, this one receives the name of the head, and any dependent words before or after the head. Dependent words are the ones that give specific details about the head. An example of a noun phrase can be: <em>a quantifier + a determiner + an adjective + a noun.</em> However, there are some others that are longer and with more dependent words.
Following this concept the two noun phrases in the text are:
<em>1. Senior citizens and others who need medical assistance </em>
<em>2. The subset of the US population with Medicare</em>
Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

Answer:
She wants to gain control of the situation.
Explanation:
In the text above we can see that the officer is totally out of control, shouting and making a scandal in front of Miep, who remains calm and focused, without reacting to all the shouting that the officer is emitting. Miep does this to keep control of the situation in her hands and to stand in favor of her actions, showing courage and showing that she doesn’t tackle anything, more than that, when taking control of the situation Miep shows that she is correct and that there is no need for despair and scandals when you are correct.
<span>During a conflict one can
either accept responsibility or not (depending, or course, on whether the
conflict is resulting from a fault of one’s own). If responsibility is accepted, the
communication that ensues is honest and can be constructive resulting in an
understanding that can generally be achieved when both sides are fully
listening to each other and trying to understand the opposite perspective. If responsibility is denied, what usually
happens is that “walls” go up and little listening takes place and, because instead
of listening one is generally trying to decide what to say next in order to
defend himself or herself, an understanding (with regard to effective
communicating) cannot be achieved. </span>
The idea that supports the claim that smaller offices are more honest than big ones is the last one, that small communities have more incentives against crime. The reason for this is that if a community has more incentives against crime than another, it is more likely to be more honest as crime is related to dishonesty and this is something the small communities try to avoid.
