Hatchet Quiz Chapters 15 & 16

Brian eats fish, foolbirds, and rabbits.

Brian knew how many days he has been in the Canadian wilderness by making a mark for each day on the stone near the door to his shelter. This method allowed him to keep track of the passing days and accurately count the number of days he has spent in the wilderness.

Brian felt sad about the pilot because he wanted him to have rest. This suggests that Brian cared about the well-being of the pilot and perhaps felt guilty or responsible for the pilot's situation.

While washing the foolbird in the lake, Brian was attacked by a moose. This suggests that moose are known to be aggressive and territorial, especially during certain times of the year such as mating season or when they feel threatened. It is possible that Brian unknowingly approached the moose's territory or startled it while washing the foolbird, causing the moose to attack in self-defense. Moose are large and powerful animals, so encountering one in close proximity can be dangerous.

Brian believed that he could successfully hit a larger rabbit with an arrow or a spear because they would be slower and easier to target compared to the small rabbits or squirrels.

The correct answer is a tornado. The roaring sound of a tornado is known to be very loud and can often be heard from a distance. This loud noise would be enough to awaken Brian from his sleep.

After the sun came up, Brian noticed the airplane sticking up in the lake.

Brian cooked the foolbird by placing it over the fire on a Y-shaped stick. This method of cooking is commonly known as spit roasting. By placing the bird on a Y-shaped stick and rotating it over the fire, the heat is evenly distributed, ensuring that the bird is cooked thoroughly. This method also allows the fat to drip off the bird, resulting in a delicious and crispy skin.

Brian was able to move close to the foolbirds by moving towards them at an angle, creating the illusion that he was moving off to the side. This technique likely helped Brian to avoid startling the foolbirds and allowed him to approach them without causing them to fly away. By moving in this manner, Brian was able to get closer to the foolbirds without alarming them.

Brian was able to escape the insane animal by pretending to be injured and dead. This strategy allowed him to deceive the animal and make it believe that he was no longer a threat. By playing injured and dead, Brian was able to avoid any further attacks from the animal and ultimately escape safely.

The correct answer is "look for the pear-shaped body". This suggests that Brian found that foolbirds have a distinct body shape that sets them apart from other birds. By looking for this specific shape, Brian was able to identify and catch foolbirds successfully.

Brian got frustrated with the foolbirds because he could be right beside one and not see it.

Despite losing everything during the storm, Brian felt different now because he had developed mental resilience and strength. He had become tough in the head, implying that he had developed a strong mindset and the ability to handle difficult situations. This mental toughness would likely help him face the challenge of starting all over without any supplies.

The statement "Since the fire went out the mosquitoes started pestering Brian" contains a cause-effect relationship. The cause is the fire going out, and the effect is the mosquitoes starting to pester Brian.

Brian could not sleep after the storm because the mosquitoes were constantly bothering him.

Based on the passage, Brian's thoughts of challenging the darkness and questioning if a moose and a tornado are the best obstacles he can face suggest that he believes he has the strength to overcome these obstacles. He is determined and willing to face harder challenges, indicating his resilience and determination to survive in the wilderness.
