Class Novel #1 - Cirque Du Freak: A Living Nightmare Test

In the beginning of the book, Darren's best friend is Steve.

The correct answer is "fakes his death". This means that Darren pretends to die in order to keep his family safe. By faking his death, he can create the illusion that he is no longer a threat or a target, thus ensuring the safety of his loved ones.

Darren is fascinated with the act of Mr. Crepsley and Madam Octa at the circus.

Steve stayed behind afterwards because he discovered that Mr. Crepsley was a vampire and he wanted him to turn him into one.

Darren goes back to the circus to steal Madam Octa. This implies that he has a specific motive for returning, which is to acquire the spider. It suggests that he may have some sort of plan or intention involving Madam Octa, whether it be for personal gain or some other purpose. The other options, such as killing Mr. Crepsley or setting the circus on fire, do not align with the given answer and therefore can be ruled out as incorrect explanations.

Darren must turn into a half vampire and be Mr. Crepsley's assistant in order to get an antidote for Steve's illness. This suggests that Mr. Crepsley, being a vampire, possesses the knowledge or resources to obtain the antidote. By becoming his assistant, Darren can gain access to this information or assistance in acquiring the antidote. This option implies that there may be a supernatural or unconventional solution to Steve's illness, which is why Darren needs to undergo this transformation.

Steve catches Darren and Mr. Crepsley at the cemetery.

Steve brings a flyer to school which he got from his brother's room.

The person who catches Darren and Mr. Crepsley at the cemetery swears to hunt down and kill Darren.

Once Darren shows Steve Madam Octa, two things happen. First, Madam Octa bites Steve, causing him to become paralyzed. Second, Steve's sister sees the spider and finds Steve poisoned or paralyzed. Therefore, the correct answer is that both A and C occur.
