    • Billy

    • Michael

    • Billy's grandmother

    Correct Answer
    A. Billy
    Explanation
    Billy misses Mum because he is the one mentioned in the question. The question asks "Who misses Mum?" and Billy is one of the options given. Therefore, it can be inferred that Billy is the one who misses Mum.

    What does Billy do because his father and grandfather did it?

    • Dance

    • Play the piano

    • Play basketball

    • Box

    Correct Answer
    A. Box
    Explanation
    Billy boxes because his father and grandfather did it. Boxing is a sport that is often passed down through generations, with family members inspiring and teaching each other. Billy's father and grandfather likely introduced him to the sport and taught him the skills and techniques involved in boxing. As a result, Billy has taken up boxing as a way to connect with his family and carry on their tradition.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What did Billy imagine the practice bag was when he was hitting it?

    Billy imagined that the practice bag was George's face when he was hitting it.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When the book starts, Billy's dad and brother are on strike.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement states that when the book starts, Billy's dad and brother are on strike. This means that at the beginning of the book, both Billy's dad and brother are participating in a strike, indicating that the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Billy's dad and George like it when Billy dances when he is boxing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that both Billy's dad and George enjoy watching Billy dance while he is boxing. However, this is not a logical or realistic scenario. Boxing requires focus, agility, and concentration, and dancing would only distract Billy from his boxing technique. Therefore, it is unlikely that Billy's dad and George would appreciate him dancing while boxing, making the answer "False" more plausible.
