Question 1 • AISD ELAR 6 Summer Academy 2026

Which plot event best indicates that Red and the wolf have a protagonist/antagonist relationship in Little Red Riding Hood ?

Answer
A
The wolf talks to Little Red Riding Hood in the forest.
B
The wolf plans to eat Little Red Riding Hood at her grandmother’s house.
C
The wolf wears clothing belonging to Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother.
D
The wolf is defeated by the huntsman who rescues Little Red Riding Hood.

Explanation

A protagonist/antagonist relationship is shown when one character’s goals directly threaten or oppose the other’s. The wolf’s plan to eat Little Red Riding Hood puts her in danger and makes him her antagonist. Talking to her or wearing the grandmother’s clothes helps move the plot, but the plan to eat her most clearly shows their conflict.
