    • Embarrassed

    • Tired

    Correct Answer
    A. Embarrassed
    Explanation
    Jessica felt embarrassed as she returned to her seat. This suggests that something happened or was said that made her feel self-conscious or ashamed.

    • The guitar

    • The drum

    • Jessica's singing

    Correct Answer
    A. The drum
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the drum" because the word "Thump! Thump!" is commonly associated with the sound produced by a drum. The drum produces a deep and resonant sound when struck, which can be described as a thumping sound. This answer is supported by the onomatopoeic nature of the word "thump" and its association with percussion instruments like drums.

    A. Very happy
    Explanation
    The phrase "as cheery as a clown" is a simile that compares someone's level of cheerfulness to that of a clown. Clowns are often associated with being happy, energetic, and entertaining, so being "as cheery as a clown" means being very happy.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that Mr. Johnson thought Jessica was shy because she did not move at all. However, this may not be a valid assumption as there could be various reasons why someone does not move, such as being physically unable to or simply choosing not to. Therefore, the correct answer is false as there is not enough evidence to conclude that Jessica is shy based solely on her lack of movement.
