Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the two sisters talk to each other on the phone.16Both the adopted girls shared a first name _.Abecause they both came from ChinaBbecause of their physical similaritiesCbecause their US parents suspected they were twinsDfor no good reason17Why did the girls mothers meet on the Internet?ATo compare photographs of the two girls.BTo find the girls biological kin.CTo test their suspicions.DTo know how to adopt children.18Experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because _.ADNA tests are still not accurate enoughBthe two girls were born in two different familiesCthe DNA of a biological parent is still missingDone girl was born a week later than the other19What Ramirez said in Paragraph 4 suggests that she _.Adidnt believe what had happenedBwas surprised at what had happenedCdidnt want to accept the factDwas pleased with what they ha
