2) If LV, underline the SC.
In two more years, Ms. Vargas will be eligible for a pension.
Without the garlic and the herbs, this pasta tastes insipid.
If this is the case,

asking the Who? or What? question
Grandmother had worked hard all of her life on the farm.

A hero teenager gave his life to rescue more than 30
people - including mothers and children - from floods
which have killed more than 140 people.
Rampaging floods in the Philippines have left nearly half a
million people homeless, as tropical storm Ketsana
brought the islands their heaviest rains in 40 years this
weekend.
As the storm died down, families stood around the coffin
of 18-year-old construction worker Muelmar Magallanes,
who saved 30 people before he was swept away.
Time and again, Muelmar swam through the floods to pull
people to safety, but on his last venture into the torrent to
save a baby girl and her mother, the exhausted hero was
swept away.
The mother and her baby, who were being carried away on
the top of a styrofoam box, were hauled to the shore by
friends after Muelmar had pushed them in close enough for
the terrified pair to be saved.
As the floods swept him away, Muelmar was too weak to
save himself and he disappeared beneath the surface. His
body was found several miles away - along with 28 others
who had perished in Manila's worst floods in decades.
'He gave his life for me and my baby and I'll never forget his
sacrifice, said Menchie Penalosa, the six-month-old girl's
mother.
'I'll be grateful to him for the rest of my life,' she added as
she joined others gathered around Muelmar's coffin at a
makeshift evacuation centre near their flooded riverside
village on the outskirts of the capital, Manila.
