    Why did Winnie take the muffins?

    • To give to Lee

    • She was very hungry

    Correct Answer
    A. To give to Lee
    Explanation
    Winnie took the muffins to give to Lee. This implies that Winnie had the intention of sharing the muffins with Lee, possibly because she wanted to be kind or because Lee had expressed a desire for muffins. The fact that she was hungry does not directly explain why she took the muffins, as it does not necessarily mean she would give them to someone else.

    • She felt bad

    • Lee wouldn't eat if she was hungry

    Correct Answer
    A. Lee wouldn't eat if she was hungry
    Explanation
    Winnie lied about what she had eaten because she knew that Lee wouldn't eat if she was hungry. By lying about her own food intake, Winnie was likely trying to ensure that Lee would eat and not go hungry. This could be because Winnie cared about Lee's well-being and didn't want her to suffer from hunger. Additionally, Winnie may have felt guilty or responsible for Lee's hunger and wanted to alleviate that by pretending she had already eaten.
