Question 2 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Read the excerpt from "The Caterpillar and the Butterfly.”"Did she leave these for me to care for?" said he to himself. Then came the perplexing question—how could he, a crawling caterpillar, take care of baby butterflies. He could not teach them anything except to crawl and nibble cabbage leaves. If they were like their beautiful mother, would they not soon fly far beyond his reach? This last thought troubled him a great deal, still he watched over them tenderly until they should hatch. He could at least tell them of how beautiful their mother had been and could show them where to fly that they might find her. Which human characteristics does the caterpillar show?

Answer
A
He is royal and elegant.
B
He is controlling and powerful.
C
He is kind and helpful.
D
He is humorous and witty.

Explanation

The caterpillar worries about how he can care for the baby butterflies, but he still watches over them tenderly. He also plans to tell them about their mother and help them find her. These actions show that he is kind and helpful, not controlling or focused on being royal, elegant, humorous, or witty.
