1. The story was set in...

Explanation

The correct answer is England during World War II. This can be inferred from the information given in the question, where it states that the story was set in a specific time period. Since the options provided are different time periods during different wars, we can eliminate the options of France during World War I and Ireland during the first world war. The U.S. during World War II can also be eliminated as it is not mentioned in the question. Therefore, the only remaining option is England during World War II, making it the correct answer.

2. Why did Miss Smith keep writing to Ada's mother?

Explanation

Miss Smith kept writing to Ada's mother to get permission for surgery on her foot. This can be inferred from the fact that Miss Smith wrote multiple letters to Ada's mother, indicating that the matter was important and urgent. Additionally, the other options of taking Ada and Jamie on a trip, inviting her to come at Thanksgiving, or asking her to come live in the village do not align with the context of the question, which is focused on Miss Smith's need for permission for a medical procedure.

Submit
3. Why wasn't Ada allowed to go outside?

Explanation

Ada wasn't allowed to go outside because her mother believed that the world would shame her for having a crippled girl. Her mother's fear of judgment and stigma led her to restrict Ada's freedom and keep her confined indoors.

Submit
4. What did Ada do to help at Maggie's house?

Explanation

Ada helped Fred Grimes, the stable master, with the horses. This means that she assisted him in taking care of the horses, such as feeding them, grooming them, and ensuring they were well taken care of.

Submit
5. Ada didn't want to go into the bomb shelter because...

Explanation

Ada didn't want to go into the bomb shelter because it reminded her of the smell of the cabinet with roaches she was forced into by her mother. This suggests that Ada may have had a traumatic experience in the past where she was locked in a small, dark space with roaches. The memory of this experience is so strong that it prevents her from wanting to enter the bomb shelter, even though it may be a safer place during a bombing.

Submit
6. How did Ada prepare to go to the country?

Submit
7. What did Jamie's teacher do because he was left-handed?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She tied his left hand to his chair so he couldn't use it." This answer suggests that Jamie's teacher took a physical action to restrict Jamie from using his left hand. Tying his left hand to his chair would prevent him from using it and force him to use his right hand instead. This action implies that the teacher wanted Jamie to exclusively use his right hand, possibly due to a belief that left-handedness was undesirable or improper.

Submit

Explanation

Ada couldn't read and write because she'd never been to school.

Submit
9. Jamie stopped wetting the bed when...

Explanation

Jamie stopped wetting the bed when he brought home a stray cat for a pet. This suggests that the presence of the cat helped Jamie feel more secure and comfortable, reducing his anxiety and ultimately leading to him stopping the bedwetting behavior. The companionship and emotional support provided by the cat may have contributed to Jamie's improved sleep and overall well-being.

Submit
10. How did Maggie and Ada become friends?
