    The description of gray hair tied in a knot on top of the head, bright eyes, a round soft blob for a nose, and a mouth puckered like an apple matches the appearance of Mrs. Whatsit. This description suggests that Mrs. Whatsit is an older woman with distinctive physical features.

    How is the weather like Meg's life?

    • Both are cloudy

    • Both are shinny

    • Both are stormy

    • Both are humid

    Correct Answer
    A. Both are stormy
    Explanation
    The answer "both are stormy" suggests that the weather and Meg's life are similar in that they are both turbulent and filled with difficulties. Stormy weather often represents chaos and instability, with strong winds and heavy rainfall. Similarly, a stormy life implies a lot of challenges, struggles, and conflicts. This comparison implies that Meg's life is not smooth or calm, but rather filled with turmoil and hardships.

    Correct Answer
    A. The constable's wife
    Explanation
    Mrs. Buncombe is the constable's wife. This can be inferred from the question itself, as it asks for her identity. The other options, Meg's older sister, the owner of the bakery, and Mrs. Whatsit's sister, are not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered as the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    • Someone broke into their home

    Correct Answer
