Are sentences 21- 27 “Right” (A) or “Wrong” (B)?

Everyday Clothes

My name is Lisa. I have two teenage children who love shopping for clothes. They go to the mall with
their friends every Saturday.

On school days, my son, Stan, likes to wear blue jeans and T-shirts. He only wears a suit on formal
occasions like weddings or funerals. He feels comfortable wearing a jacket but not a tie. My daughter,
Lily, likes to wear tight pants. She wears a dress or a skirt and blouse for parties or dinners. She doesn't
feel comfortable in high heeled shoes and loves wearing casual and sporty clothes. When Lily visited her
aunt in Texas, she bought cowboy boots, tight blue jeans and a cowboy hat.

In Winter, my children wear coats, hats and gloves on cold days. When they go skiing, they put on
toques and mittens. Mittens are warmer than gloves. My son doesn't like rainy days because he has to
wear a raincoat and carry an umbrella. My daughter loves to wear the scarf that I bought for her Birthday.
