Additionally, it is mentioned that he had a great desire for knowledge and was eager to impart it to the young minds of Sleepy Hollow. Therefore, it can be concluded that his primary reason for coming to Sleepy Hollow was to fulfill the role of a schoolmaster.

    Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones begin to compete with each other for Katrina Van Tassel's hand in marriage. Both characters are interested in marrying Katrina, which leads to a rivalry between them as they try to win her affections. This competition becomes a central plot point in the story, with both characters using various tactics to gain Katrina's favor and outdo each other.

    Correct Answer
    C. When Ichabod throws salt over his shoulder
    Explanation
    Brom Bones discovers that Ichabod is superstitious when Ichabod throws salt over his shoulder. This action indicates that Ichabod believes in the superstition that throwing salt over one's shoulder can ward off bad luck or evil spirits. This discovery suggests that Ichabod is easily influenced by superstitions and may be prone to irrational beliefs.

    Correct Answer
    C. Tells the legend of the headless horseman
    Explanation
    When Brom discovers Ichabod's superstition, he tells him the legend of the headless horseman. This suggests that Brom is aware of Ichabod's fear and decides to play a prank on him by sharing the spooky story. By telling the legend, Brom is likely trying to further frighten Ichabod and possibly make fun of his superstitious beliefs.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    After Ichabod hears the story of the headless horseman, he starts to:

    • A.

      Dance with the other villagers

    • B.

      Propose marriage to Katrina

    • C.

      Fear for his life

    • D.

      Prepare for a fight with the horseman

    Correct Answer
    C. Fear for his life
    Explanation
    After hearing the story of the headless horseman, Ichabod starts to fear for his life. This is because the tale of the headless horseman is a frightening and supernatural one, which instills fear in Ichabod. He becomes scared and worried about encountering the headless horseman himself, leading him to be fearful for his own safety.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    On his way home from the party, Ichabod hears this noise in the graveyard.

    • A.

      The cackle of the headless horseman

    • B.

      Cattails thumping on a log

    • C.

      Hoofbeats

    • D.

      A crying woman

    Correct Answer
    B. Cattails thumping on a log
    Explanation
    The correct answer is cattails thumping on a log. This is the most plausible explanation because cattails are a type of plant that can make a thumping noise when they hit against a log or other object. It is unlikely that the noise would be caused by the headless horseman's cackle, hoofbeats, or a crying woman, as these are more supernatural or human sounds that would not typically be heard in a graveyard. Therefore, the cattails hitting a log is the most logical and realistic explanation for the noise Ichabod hears.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the headless horseman looking for? 

    • A.

      His saddle

    • B.

      His horse

    • C.

      A new head

    • D.

      Ichabod Crane

    Correct Answer
    C. A new head
    Explanation
    The headless horseman is looking for a new head. This is because he is missing his own head and needs a replacement. The idea of the headless horseman is often associated with the legend of Sleepy Hollow, where he is said to roam the area in search of a new head. This explanation aligns with the popular folklore surrounding the headless horseman.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What object can the horseman not cross?

    • A.

      A crucifix

    • B.

      A covered bridge

    • C.

      A churchyard

    • D.

      A flowerbed

    Correct Answer
    B. A covered bridge
    Explanation
    A covered bridge is a type of bridge with a roof and walls on the sides, which makes it impossible for the horseman to cross. The roof and walls would obstruct the horseman's path, preventing him from passing through the bridge.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What item of Ichabod's is found next to a shattered pumpkin the morning after the party?

    • A.

      His musket

    • B.

      His purse

    • C.

      His hat

    • D.

      His schoolbook

    Correct Answer
    C. His hat
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "His hat" because the question asks about an item of Ichabod's that is found next to a shattered pumpkin the morning after the party. Since a hat is typically worn on the head, it is plausible that Ichabod's hat would be found near the pumpkin, suggesting that it may have been knocked off his head during some sort of incident or accident.
