e.g. The mangers of the company have been aware of their weakness. I was not aware of the fire.
Add: There is another pattern about “be aware”: be aware + clause e.g. We were quite aware that the competition was very fierce. Are you aware how they would respond to our terms? 2. reflect
(1) vt. throw (light) back:
e.g. A mirror reflects a picture of you when you look in it. (2) vt. express (+ clause)
e.g. Does what you said reflect how you really think? (3) vi. think carefully (+on)
e.g. He reflected on my questions before answering. Then deal with Exx 1-4 on Page 24.

T: In fact, each sentence is the main idea of its corresponding paragraph. Have you find that?

1. Because her father was getting old and he could not look after her daughter any more.
