    (Night) His son wanted to leave him behind because he had become a burden to him:

    • Moshe the Beadle

    • Oberkapo

    • Rabbi Eliahou

    • Juliek

    Correct Answer
    A. Rabbi Eliahou
    Explanation
    Rabbi Eliahou's son wanted to leave him behind because he had become a burden to him. This suggests that the son no longer wanted to take care of his father and saw him as a hindrance. It highlights the difficult and challenging circumstances faced by individuals during the nightmarish experiences of the Holocaust, where survival often meant making tough decisions and prioritizing one's own well-being over others.

    • Tzipora

    • Madame Schächter

    • The French girl

    Correct Answer
    A. Madame Schächter
    Explanation
    Madame Schächter is the correct answer because she is the one who screams about the smoke and flames on the train, causing others to think she has gone mad. This event is significant in Elie's memoir, "Night," as it foreshadows the horrors and dehumanization that the Jewish people will experience during the Holocaust. Madame Schächter's cries serve as a metaphor for the collective fear and suffering of the Jewish people during this time.

    • Tzipora

    • Madame Schächter

    • The French girl

    Correct Answer
    A. The French girl
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the French girl because in the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the French girl is described as passing for Aryan, but in reality, she is Jewish. This suggests that she is able to hide her true identity and blend in with the Aryan population, which is a dangerous strategy during the Holocaust. This highlights the theme of identity and the lengths that individuals went to in order to survive during this dark period in history.

    The correct answer is "Evil is a trait inside of man." In the novel Lord of the Flies, the Lord of the Flies refers to the pig's head on a stick that is worshipped by the boys as a symbol of power and authority. The message it conveys to Simon is that the evil and darkness that exists within each individual is a fundamental part of human nature.

The boys' inability to properly deal with the bodies and give them a proper burial reflects their growing abandonment of societal norms and their descent into chaos.

    Correct Answer
    A. He uses the paint as a mask to blot out his real self and become a savage.
    Explanation
    Jack paints his face as a mask to hide his true identity and embrace his savage instincts. This act allows him to detach himself from the constraints of civilization and indulge in his primal desires. By painting his face, Jack symbolically transforms into a savage, shedding his previous civilized self and embracing the darkness within him. This allows him to exert control and dominance over the others, as well as instill fear in them, ultimately leading to his descent into savagery.

    Explanation
    During his stay on the island, Jack's personality has undergone a significant transformation. Initially, he was a civilized boy, but as time passed, he began to lose his sense of civilization and descend into a more primitive state. This is evident in his actions and behavior, as he becomes increasingly aggressive, violent, and focused on hunting and killing. His descent into savagery is further highlighted by his obsession with power and control, as he forms his own tribe and becomes a ruthless leader.

    (Macbeth) Lady Macbeth intends to blame Duncan’s murder on:

    • Macbeth

    • The servants

    • Banquo

    • Macduff

    Correct Answer
    A. The servants
    Explanation
    Lady Macbeth intends to blame Duncan's murder on the servants. This is evident from Act 2, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's play Macbeth, where Lady Macbeth instructs Macbeth to smear the servants' faces with blood and place the daggers in their hands. By doing so, she plans to shift the blame onto the servants and divert suspicion away from Macbeth and herself. This deceitful act showcases Lady Macbeth's cunning and manipulative nature as she tries to protect herself and her husband from being implicated in the murder.
