Question 48 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Read the excerpt from "Why Alligator Hates Dog.”Dog loved a good chase, so he couldn’t resist leaping off the porch in hot pursuit. What he didn’t know was that this rabbit was crafty: he led Dog right, then left, then straight to a deep hole. The rabbit jumped over the hole, knowing full well that Dog wouldn’t see the hole and would tumble right into it. That hole just happened to be an alligator den, and guess who had made it his home?

Answer
A
calm.
B
comical.
C
mysterious.
D
suspenseful.

Explanation

The excerpt creates suspense by building anticipation about what will happen to Dog. The rabbit tricks him into running toward a deep hole, and the reader learns that Dog does not see the danger before he tumbles in. The reveal that the hole is an alligator’s den makes the situation even more tense, so “suspenseful” is the best choice.
