  • 2. 

    1. Which character sleeps in a box?

    • Juana

    • Coyotito

    • Juan Tomas

    • Kino

    Correct Answer
    A. Coyotito
    Explanation
    Coyotito is the correct answer because in the story "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, Coyotito is a baby who sleeps in a box. The box is described as being old and moldy, but it serves as a makeshift crib for Coyotito. This detail is significant because it reflects the poverty and lack of resources that Kino and his family face in their daily lives.

    • Kills the scorpion

    • Sucks out the poison

    • Screams

    • Tells Kino to get the doctor

    Correct Answer
    A. Screams
    Explanation
    Juana's immediate reaction after the baby is stung by a scorpion is to scream. This is a natural response to a sudden and painful event, especially when it involves the safety and well-being of a loved one. Screaming can serve as a way to express fear, shock, and urgency, alerting others nearby to the situation and potentially seeking help or assistance.
