2. Read the following texts and answer
the question below:

Enola Holmes is one of the best and most


charming Netflix original movies released so
far. It’s based on the book series of the
same name by Nancy Springer. Enola
Holmes, who (1) is the youngest daughter in
the Holmes family, has been raised in the
countryside by her single mother. But her
life starts to change in one ordinary
morning, when (2) she wakes up and finds
out her mother is missing. She then travels
to London, where (3) she thinks she’ll be
able to solve the case. The film is
tremendously fun as Enola bravely hunts for
clues, but it’s also a surprisingly touching
mother-daughter story, which (4) brings up
to discuss the feminism theme. Once the
movie ends, you’ll be begging for Netflix to
make many more.

Django Unchained, which (5) is Quentin


Tarantino’s most financially successful film
to date, is set in 1858 and tells the story of
a freed slave, whose (6) wife, Broomhilda,
another slave, is owned by a farmer. With
the help of a German bounty hunter*,
Django lives a quest to save his wife.
Unchained Django is very successful in
terms of bringing attention to the story of
slaves in America (and all the cruelty upon
them), but it also has that Tarantino touch,
which makes it wildly entertaining.
* a person who receives money to find wanted criminals and take
them to the police.
