    • 1875-1880

    • 1850 or earlier

    Correct Answer
    A. Between 1925-1955
    Explanation
    Based on the given answer, the time period of the story is likely between 1925-1955.

Therefore, the most reasonable conclusion is that the story takes place between 1925-1955.

    Which does not happen:

    • a family fighting over money

    • Baseball game

    • Chopin piano

    • Nanny singing a lullaby

    Correct Answer
    A. Baseball game
    Explanation
    The given options are different scenarios or events that can occur. A family fighting over money, Chopin piano, and a nanny singing a lullaby are all possible occurrences in real life. However, a baseball game is an event that does happen, making it the odd one out in this list.

  • 4. 

    The setting is:

    • A civil war battlefield

    • 19th century Russia

    • Upstate New Hampshire

    • New York City

    Correct Answer
    A. New York City
    Explanation
    The correct answer is New York City because the other options (a civil war battlefield, 19th century Russia, upstate New Hampshire) are not known for being settings in the 19th century. New York City, on the other hand, is a well-known location that has existed since the 17th century and has played a significant role in American history, including the 19th century.

    • They destroy the radio

    • The radio is fixed and works normally

    • Jim and Irene divorce

    • Another family takes the radio

    Correct Answer
    A. The radio is fixed and works normally
    Explanation
    The answer suggests that at the end, the radio is fixed and works normally. This implies that there was a problem with the radio earlier, but it was successfully repaired. The other options such as destroying the radio, divorce, or another family taking the radio are not mentioned as the outcome, indicating that they are not the correct answer.
