Question 15 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

Read the excerpt.From his room, Johnny could hear his sisters' high-pitched squeals of delight and the ringing of their bicycle bells as they rode up and down the sidewalk. He could hear someone bouncing a basketball and the swoop of the ball as it swished through the net. He also heard his best friend, Noah, asking where Johnny was and his sisters' reply that he couldn't come out to play because he was sick. This was too much. Johnny pulled the soft, velvety covers over his aching head and turned to the wall in protest, realizing there was nothing he could do but wait for this virus to take its course. He swore to himself that he would be better by next Saturday and that he would be outside riding his bike and shooting baskets along with everyone else.

Answer
A
what Johnny’s bedroom looks like.
B
what Johnny’s sisters look like.
C
how bad Noah feels for Johnny.
D
how bad Johnny feels about being sick.

Explanation

The excerpt describes Johnny hearing his friends and sisters playing outside while he is stuck in bed with a virus. His aching head, pulling the covers over himself, and turning to the wall “in protest” show how upset he feels about being sick and missing out. The passage does not describe the bedroom or the sisters’ appearances, and it does not tell us how Noah feels.
