In which book does a character seek a different community service assignment?

• A. The Hunger Games
• B. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• C. The Giver
• D. Merci Suarez Changes Gears

Answer: (D)

A key idea here is how a character takes charge of their own school duties and advocates for a better fit. In Merci Suárez Changes Gears, Merci is asked to complete a community service assignment as part of her school plans. She spots that the assignment doesn’t suit her interests or strengths and speaks up to request a different placement. This moment highlights responsibility, self-advocacy, and finding a way to contribute that feels meaningful. The other titles don’t center a student trying to change a community service task. The Hunger Games focuses on survival in a dystopian world, Diary of a Wimpy Kid follows everyday middle-school humor, and The Giver centers on receiving a life assignment in a tightly controlled community.
