Question 7 • WI-English Language Arts 8 A

Read the excerpt from Monster.We see STEVE stand shakily and head back to the defense table. He looks out onto the onlookers and sees his parents. His MOTHER forces a smile and his FATHER makes a fist and nods emphatically. We see STEVE sit down, start to pick up a glass of water, and have to put it down because his hand is shaking so badly.

Answer
A
He loves his parents dearly.
B
He feels very worried.
C
He is not very thirsty.
D
He did not tell the truth.

Explanation

Steve’s hand is shaking so badly that he has to put down the glass of water, which shows that he is extremely nervous or worried. His parents’ reactions do not prove that he loves them or that he lied. The best choice is “He feels very worried.”
