Explanation

The statement says that at first, Jonas can only see flashes of blue. However, this statement is false. In the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, Jonas is unable to see any color until he starts receiving memories from the Giver. So, initially, he cannot see flashes of blue or any other color.

5. New children are identified by a number before they are named.

Explanation

In many cultures, it is common practice to assign a number or a temporary name to a newborn child before they are given their permanent name. This is done to easily identify and keep track of the child, especially in situations where there may be multiple infants or in cases where the naming process takes time. Therefore, the statement that new children are identified by a number before they are named is true.

Submit
8. Each December the children get a year older and gain new privileges and responsibilities

Each December, the children celebrate their birthdays, which means they are getting a year older. As they grow older, they also gain new privileges and responsibilities.

The statement suggests that citizens are encouraged to conform and be similar to others. This could imply that there is a societal pressure to fit in and not stand out.

11. Who decides each Twelve's Assignment?

Explanation

The correct answer is the elders. In the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the society is governed by a group of elders who make all the important decisions, including the assignments for each Twelve. The elders are responsible for determining the roles and responsibilities that each individual will have in the community. They hold the power to decide the future and fate of the citizens, including the Twelve-year-olds who are assigned their lifelong occupations.

Submit
12. Which of the following is NOT provided for all citizens of the community?

Explanation

The correct answer is "car" because not all citizens of a community are provided with a car. While food, medication, and a dwelling are basic necessities that are typically provided for all citizens, car ownership is not a universal entitlement. It is a personal choice and depends on individual circumstances such as affordability, preference, and need.

Submit
13. Jonas enjoys playing a war game with his friends.

Explanation

The statement suggests that Jonas enjoys playing a war game with his friends, and we are asked to determine if this statement is true or false. The correct answer is false because there is no information provided in the statement to support the claim that Jonas enjoys playing a war game with his friends. It is possible that Jonas does not enjoy playing a war game or he may not even have friends to play with. Therefore, without any supporting evidence, we cannot assume that the statement is true.

Submit
15. The Receiver-in-Training will maintain his regular schedule and train after dinner each evening.

Explanation

The statement contradicts itself by saying that the Receiver-in-Training will maintain his regular schedule and train after dinner each evening. If the Receiver-in-Training is maintaining his regular schedule, it implies that he will train at his usual time, not necessarily after dinner each evening. Therefore, the answer is false.

Submit

It implies that the birthmother is actively involved in raising her children before transitioning to manual labor.

Explanation

The Giver first heard music instead of seeing colors. This suggests that in the world of the story, individuals do not have the ability to perceive colors visually.

This detail adds to the unique and limited sensory experiences of the characters in the story, highlighting the controlled and restricted nature of their society.
