Explanation

Phoebe initially thinks her mother was kidnapped because she cannot accept the possibility that her mother would leave her under normal circumstances. This suggests that Phoebe has a strong bond with her mother and finds it hard to believe that her mother would willingly abandon her. This explanation implies that Phoebe's love and attachment to her mother lead her to assume that something must be wrong if her mother is not with her.

Submit
3. Why do Sal and Phoebe decide to visit the lunatic at his college?

Explanation

Sal and Phoebe decide to visit the lunatic at his college because they are convinced that he has something to do with Mrs. Winterbottom's disappearance.

Submit

Explanation

Phoebe and Sal initially feel confused and scared by the messages left on Phoebe's doorstep. However, as they continue to receive more messages, they start to understand their meaning and purpose.

7. How does Mrs. Partridge tell people's ages?

Explanation

Mrs. Partridge tells people's ages by feeling their faces with her hands. This suggests that she relies on tactile sensations to determine the age of a person. By touching their faces, she may be able to detect wrinkles, sagging skin, or other physical characteristics that are associated with aging. This method implies that Mrs. Partridge has developed a skill or intuition for gauging age through touch.

Submit
8. Why does Mrs. Winterbottom sniffle and cry so much?

Explanation

Mrs. Winterbottom sniffles and cries so much because she feels that she leads an insignificant life. This suggests that she may feel unimportant or undervalued in her daily existence, leading to feelings of sadness and despair. This explanation is supported by the fact that the other options (being allergic to their dog, suspecting her husband wants a divorce, and worrying about Prudence) do not directly address the reason for her constant sniffles and crying.

Submit
9. Sal and Phoebe visit the university in order to

Explanation

The correct answer is "confront the lunatic." This is because the question states that Sal and Phoebe visit the university, implying that they have a purpose or intention for going there. Out of the given options, "confront the lunatic" seems to be the most logical explanation for their visit, as it suggests that they are going to confront someone they believe to be a lunatic. The other options, such as spying on Ben or finding Mr. Winterbottom, do not align with the information provided in the question.

Submit
10. What does Sal learn about Mrs. Cadaver's husband that changes her attitude toward Mrs. Cadaver?

Explanation

Sal learns that Mrs. Cadaver's husband died, which changes her attitude towards Mrs. Cadaver. This suggests that Sal sympathizes with Mrs. Cadaver and understands the pain and loss she has experienced. The revelation of her husband's death likely humanizes Mrs. Cadaver in Sal's eyes, leading to a shift in her perception and attitude towards her.

Explanation

The first message, "Don't judge a man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins," implies that one should not judge or make assumptions about someone else until they have experienced the same circumstances and challenges that the person has gone through. This means that it is important to have empathy and understanding before passing judgment on others.

Submit
13. What does Mr. Winterbottom do that Sal thinks is noble when his wife returns with Mike?

Explanation

When Mr. Winterbottom shakes Mike's hand and welcomes him to the family as his son, Sal thinks it is noble because it shows acceptance and inclusivity. This gesture demonstrates Mr. Winterbottom's willingness to embrace Mike as a member of their family, despite him not being his biological son. It reflects kindness, understanding, and a sense of compassion, which Sal perceives as noble.

Submit
14. What makes Mr. Birkway stop reading from the student's journals?

Explanation

Mr. Birkway stops reading from the student's journals because he reads Phoebe's journal entry and realizes she is writing about his sister. This discovery likely creates a personal and emotional connection for Mr. Birkway, making him uncomfortable sharing such personal information with the class. It is possible that he wants to protect his sister's privacy and feels that continuing to read the journal entry would be inappropriate or intrusive.

Submit
15. What does Sal notice about Phoebe's parents that reminds her of the Pickfords, her mother's parents?

Explanation

Sal notices that both the Pickfords and the Winterbottoms are very polite and proper. This suggests that the behavior and manners of Phoebe's parents resemble those of Sal's grandparents, the Pickfords. They both exhibit similar etiquette and social graces, indicating a similarity in their upbringing and values.

Explanation

Sal visits all of the given places with grams and gramps, except for Hoover Dam.

Submit
17. Before Sal reaches her destination, Gram dies from a

Explanation

Sal's destination is not relevant to the cause of Gram's death. The question is asking for the cause of Gram's death, and the correct answer is stroke. A stroke occurs when there is a disruption of blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell damage and potentially death. The other options (snake bite, car accident, heart attack) are not mentioned in the question and are therefore incorrect.

Submit
18. Why does Sal resent Margaret Cadaver?

Explanation

Sal resents Margaret Cadaver because she is afraid that her father is developing romantic feelings for Mrs. Cadaver. This suggests that Sal may feel threatened by the potential loss of her father's attention and affection, leading to her resentment towards Margaret.

Submit
19. What did Sal's dog, Moody Blue, do with her puppies when they were about six weeks old?

Explanation

Moody Blue pushed her puppies away so that they would become independent. This behavior is common among many animal species, as it helps the puppies develop necessary skills and become self-sufficient. By pushing them away, Moody Blue is teaching them to explore their surroundings, find their own food, and interact with their environment. This is a natural process that allows the puppies to grow and become independent individuals.

Submit
20. On the roof of Mary Lou's garage Sal sees Mary Lou's parents kissing.  Why does she say, "It made me feel peculiar?"

The reason why Sal says, "It made me feel peculiar" is because she is reminded of her own parents. Seeing Mary Lou's parents kissing triggers a personal emotional response in Sal, possibly bringing up memories or feelings associated with her own parents. This connection to her own family causes her to feel peculiar or uneasy.
