Explanation

James noticed that the peach had a hole in it.

Submit
8. Where did the peach roll to?

Explanation

The given correct answer is "To the ocean." This answer is supported by the statement "It just kept rolling." Since the peach kept rolling and there is no indication of it stopping or changing direction, it is logical to assume that it eventually rolled all the way to the ocean.

Submit
9. What happened under the old peach tree?

Explanation

Under the old peach tree, James fell and scattered the green things all over. This suggests that James had an accident while he was near the peach tree and as a result, he dropped or knocked over some green objects. The phrase "fell and scattered" implies that James lost his balance and caused the objects to disperse in different directions.

Submit
10. Why are James and his new friends leaving the hill?

Explanation

The correct answer is "To get away from his aunts and the horrible place." This is because the passage mentions that James and his new friends are leaving the hill, implying that they are trying to escape from their current location. The mention of James' aunts and the horrible place suggests that they are trying to leave a negative or unpleasant environment.

Submit
11. Where did the peach fall on top of?

Explanation

The correct answer is "The top of the Empire State Building." This answer is based on the information provided in the question, which asks where the peach fell on top of. Out of the given options, the Empire State Building is the only one that has a top where something can fall on. The Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Central Park do not have a top where the peach could have fallen on. Therefore, the most logical answer is the top of the Empire State Building.

Submit
12. How big did the peach grow before it stopped growing?

Explanation

The correct answer is "As big as a small house." This implies that the peach grew to a significant size before it stopped growing. Comparing it to a small house suggests that it reached a size comparable to a typical residential building.

Submit
13. What were the tiny green things that looked like stones or crystals?

Explanation

Crocodiles' tongues are often green in color and have a textured appearance, resembling tiny green stones or crystals. This is due to the presence of blood vessels and connective tissue on the surface of their tongues. The green coloration is believed to be a result of the crocodile's diet, which includes algae and other aquatic plants. Therefore, crocodiles' tongues are the most likely explanation for the tiny green things that resemble stones or crystals.

Submit

16. What happened on Fifth Avenue?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Children started to eat the peach." This is inferred from the given options, as the other statements do not mention anything about what happened on Fifth Avenue. The fact that the children started to eat the peach suggests that something significant or noteworthy occurred on Fifth Avenue.

Submit
17. What did the Centipede see first?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Land below" because the question is asking what the Centipede saw first, and out of the given options, "Land below" is the only one that describes something visible to the Centipede. The other options either describe things that the Centipede cannot see (such as being blind) or things that are not mentioned in the question (such as "More ocean" or "Another floating peach"). Therefore, "Land below" is the most logical choice for the first thing that the Centipede saw.

Submit
