    What does Piggy suffer from?

    • Deafness

    • Asthma

    • Insomnia

    • Diabetes

    Correct Answer
    A. Asthma
    Explanation
    Piggy suffers from asthma. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing. People with asthma often experience symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. In the context of the question, it is implied that Piggy has difficulty breathing, which aligns with the symptoms of asthma.

    • A piece of glass found in the sand

    • Piggy's glasses

    • Fling

    • Matches found in the sand

    Correct Answer
    A. Piggy's glasses
    Explanation
    Piggy's glasses are used to light a fire because they can concentrate sunlight onto a small spot, creating enough heat to ignite dry leaves or other flammable materials. This is demonstrated in the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, where the boys on the island use Piggy's glasses as a makeshift magnifying glass to start a fire.

    • A whistle

    • A conch shell

    Correct Answer
    A. A conch shell
    Explanation
    In the novel, Ralph uses a conch shell to summon the other boys. The conch shell holds symbolic significance as it represents order and civilization. When Ralph blows into the shell, it creates a loud sound that catches the attention of the boys, bringing them together for meetings and discussions. The conch shell becomes a symbol of authority and democracy, as only the person holding the conch has the right to speak. Therefore, the correct answer is a conch shell.

    Who does Simon say the beast is?

    • Jack

    • Ralph

    • Piggy

    • All the boys

    Correct Answer
    A. All the boys
    Explanation
    Simon says that the beast is all the boys. This suggests that the true source of fear and evil on the island is not an external creature, but rather the darkness within each individual. Simon's insight highlights the theme of human nature and the potential for savagery that exists within all of us. By identifying the beast as all the boys, Simon implies that they are responsible for their own descent into chaos and violence.

    Jack and his "hunters" are actually what type of group in the real world?

    • Juvenile delinquents

    • Choir singers

    • Football team

    • Military school cadets

    Correct Answer
    A. Choir singers
    Explanation
    Jack and his "hunters" being a choir group in the real world is supported by the fact that they are referred to as "hunters," which implies a collective group engaged in a specific activity. In this case, the activity is singing, as indicated by the term "choir singers." This explanation is further reinforced by the absence of any other context or information that would suggest they belong to another type of group, such as juvenile delinquents, a football team, or military school cadets.

    • The fire

    • Avoiding the beast

    • Food

    • The conch

    Correct Answer
    A. The fire
    Explanation
    Ralph considers the fire to be the most important thing on the island. This is because the fire represents their only chance of being rescued and returning to civilization. It acts as a signal to passing ships or planes, increasing their chances of being noticed and rescued. Additionally, the fire symbolizes hope and a sense of order and civilization amidst the chaos and fear on the island.

    • Roll it down the hill to crush approaching enemies

    Correct Answer
    A. Roll it down the hill to crush approaching enemies
    Explanation
    Jack wants to roll the boulders down the hill to crush approaching enemies. This suggests that Jack sees the boulders as a defensive weapon to protect himself and others on the island. By rolling the boulders down the hill, Jack intends to use them as a means of defense against any potential threats or enemies that may approach the island.
