Students in Mrs. Carr’s class are asked to make a prediction after reading this passage from White Fang.But the bane of his life was Lip-lip. Larger, older, and stronger, Lip-lip had selected White Fang for his special object of persecution. White Fang fought willingly enough, but he was outclassed. His enemy was too big. Lip-lip became a nightmare to him. Whenever he ventured away from his mother, the bully was sure to appear.Which student prediction is most reasonable?
Answer
A
White Fang will grow stronger than Lip-lip in a short time.
B
Lip-lip will have nightmares about White Fang in the future.
C
White Fang will be attacked by Lip-lip the next time he is alone.
D
Lip-lip will be attacked by White Fang the next time he is alone.
Explanation
The passage says Lip-lip repeatedly appears whenever White Fang ventures away from his mother, and that Lip-lip persecutes him. This pattern makes it most reasonable to predict that Lip-lip will attack White Fang the next time he is alone. The passage gives no reason to predict that either one will have nightmares or that White Fang will soon become stronger.
