    Explanation
    Harry got revenge on Sidney by pouring ice water down Sydney's back. This action of pouring ice water can be seen as a form of retaliation or payback for whatever Sidney may have done to Harry.

    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that Sidney bumped into Song Lee because he had his eyes closed. This implies that Sidney was not aware of his surroundings and unable to see Song Lee, resulting in the collision. Therefore, the statement is true as it provides a logical reason for the incident.

  • 9. 

    Miss Mackle got the ants for the ant city...

    • From the garden

    • In the mail

    • From the playground

    Correct Answer
    A. In the mail
    Explanation
    Miss Mackle got the ants for the ant city in the mail. This means that the ants were delivered to her through the postal service. It is unlikely that she would have gotten the ants from the garden or the playground, as these are not typical places to obtain ants. Therefore, the correct answer is "in the mail".

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    • The bed

    • The refrigerator

    Correct Answer
    A. The refrigerator
    Explanation
    Miss Mackle put the ants in the refrigerator to put them to sleep. Refrigerators are cold, and the low temperature would slow down the ants' metabolism, making them less active and eventually causing them to fall asleep. This method is commonly used to temporarily immobilize insects without causing harm to them.

    A. Touched the loose ants
    Explanation
    Harry lost the job as ant monitor because he touched the loose ants. This action could have disrupted the ant city and caused harm to the ants. As an ant monitor, it is important to handle the ants with care and follow proper procedures to ensure their safety. By touching the loose ants, Harry showed negligence and a lack of responsibility in his role, leading to his dismissal.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The black molly fish died because...

    • The water was too hot

    • It jumped out of the tank

    • Harry forgot to feed it

    Correct Answer
    A. The water was too hot
    Explanation
    The black molly fish died because the water was too hot. Fish are ectothermic animals, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the surrounding environment. If the water temperature becomes too high, it can cause stress and even death for the fish. High temperatures can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water, making it difficult for the fish to breathe. It can also disrupt their metabolic processes and weaken their immune system, making them more susceptible to diseases. Therefore, the hot water was likely the cause of the black molly fish's death.

    • He put peanut butter on his finger

    Correct Answer
    A. He put peanut butter on his finger
    Explanation
    Harry was able to attract the ants to his finger by putting peanut butter on it. Ants are attracted to sweet and sticky substances, and peanut butter fits this description. By applying peanut butter to his finger, Harry made it enticing for the ants, causing them to come to his finger.

    When ants pass messages about food, they whisper. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Ants do not whisper when they pass messages about food. In fact, ants communicate through a variety of methods including pheromones, tactile signals, and vibrations. They use pheromones to leave trails for other ants to follow and to communicate information about food sources. Whispering is a human behavior and not a method of communication for ants. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

It is possible that Harry was given a word puzzle or challenge that required him to come up with a specific word, and he successfully solved it by finding the word "pennant."
