Question 39 • VT-VA-EOC-SOL-11th Grade Reading: Demonstrate Comprehension of Fictional Texts

One of the themes in "Children of the Wartime Evacuation” is that it always helps to find the bright side of situations. Which detail from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe best supports the same theme?

Answer

Lucy discovers an old wardrobe while she and her siblings are busy exploring.

Peter convinces his siblings that staying in a strange house will be an adventure.

The children are sent away by their parents to live in the country with the Professor.

The Professor tells the children that the wardrobe will no longer lead them to Narnia.

Explanation

Peter looks on the children’s unfamiliar situation positively by describing their stay in the strange house as an adventure. That detail shows someone finding a bright side in a difficult or uncertain situation, matching the theme in “Children of the Wartime Evacuation.” The other choices describe events but do not show a character choosing an optimistic outlook.
