Nothing But The Truth - Chap. 15 Quiz - Quiz

This quiz covers Chapter 15 of 'Nothing but the Truth', focusing on differing perceptions of a school incident in media and educational contexts.

2. What version of Philip's incident does the public hear?

Explanation

The public hears the version of Philip's incident where he is portrayed as a patriotic boy who was suspended for singing the national anthem. This suggests that the public perceives Philip's suspension as an unjust punishment for expressing his patriotism.

Submit
3. Why did Philip really get suspended?

Explanation

The correct answer is "He broke the rule two times in the same week." This answer is supported by the information given in the question that Philip broke the rule two times in the same week. It suggests that his suspension was a consequence of his repeated rule-breaking behavior. The other options, such as Dr. Palleni not liking him or Miss Narwin requesting his suspension, do not have any evidence or relevance in the given information.

Submit
4. What do the majority of the telegrams sent to Miss Narwin talk about? How did the writers of the telegrams find the information to send a telegram to her?

Explanation

The majority of the telegrams sent to Miss Narwin talk about denouncing her behavior. The writers of the telegrams found this information from talk show host Jake Barlow, who presumably discussed Miss Narwin's actions on his show.

Submit
5. What is the main reason why Dr. Seymour so worried about the publicized Philip incident?

Explanation

Dr. Seymour is worried about the publicized Philip incident because he believes that the bad publicity could ruin the budget vote. This suggests that Dr. Seymour is concerned about the impact of negative publicity on the decision-making process of the budget vote. He may believe that the incident will create a negative perception among the public and the policymakers, which could potentially lead to a loss of support for the budget vote. Therefore, he sees the bad publicity as a significant threat to the success of the budget vote.

Submit
6. Judging by his friendly treatment of the people who supported Philip and his rough treatment of those who felt differently, what can you infer about Jake Barlow's opinion of Philip's incident?

Explanation

Based on Jake Barlow's friendly treatment of the people who supported Philip and his rough treatment of those who felt differently, it can be inferred that he feels Philip had every right to do what he did and Miss Narwin is wrong. Jake's behavior suggests that he is not neutral about the incident, but rather supports Philip's actions and disagrees with Miss Narwin's decision to suspend him.

Submit
7. How do Philip's parents feel about Philip's sudden fame due to the incident?

Explanation

Philip's parents feel excited and proud about his sudden fame due to the incident. They are showering him with praise, indicating that they are happy and supportive of his achievement.

Submit
8. What is so surprising about Mr. Duval's call to Dr. Doane from St. Louis?

Explanation

The surprising aspect of Mr. Duval's call to Dr. Doane from St. Louis is that Dr. Doane didn't expect the news to travel all the way from New Hampshire to St. Louis. This suggests that the news or information being discussed was unexpected or not widely known, making it surprising for Dr. Doane to receive a call about it from a distant location.

Submit
9. What version of Philip's story does the school see?

Explanation

The school sees the version of Philip's story where he causes a repeated disturbance in class for unknown reasons and is subsequently suspended. This suggests that the school is not aware of the other versions of the story, such as the boy and teacher fighting about a rule, the teacher treating students unfairly, or the boy being suspended for singing the national anthem.

Submit
10. What do all of the classmates' accounts have in common?

Explanation

All of the classmates' accounts have in common the fact that they do not definitively state that Philip was actually singing loudly. This implies that there is some ambiguity or uncertainty surrounding Philip's actions, as none of the accounts provide a clear confirmation of his behavior.

13. What is the memo shared by Dr. Seymour, Dr. Doane, Palleni, and Gloria Harland about?
