Question 16 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Which line gives the best indication that Zara is a cat in "Max in the Year 2300”?

Answer

She sought attention when she wanted it, but when she didn’t, you had better have left her alone.

“That’s a good idea,” Zara drawled. “There's a new place uptown I want to try out.”

“What’s it called?” Max thought out loud, imagining French food. “‘Fresh Catch,’” she replied, “The one where you can chase down a mouse for dinner!”

"Zara . . . Which artist took that magnificent photo of the cat who acted in Puss in Boots?" Max asked, curling lower into the couch."You mean the redtop one? His name is Lou Miller, I think, but why?"

Explanation

Choice C gives the clearest clue that Zara is a cat: she wants to go somewhere “where you can chase down a mouse for dinner.” Chasing mice is a characteristic associated with cats, and the line directly connects Zara to that behavior. The other lines describe her attitude, a restaurant plan, or a conversation without giving as strong a clue.
