Question 10 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Read the excerpt from "Why the Sun Is Brighter Than the Moon.”When they were very young, Buwan pushed Araw into a fast-flowing stream."Sister, my sister, I’m losing my grip! Grab my hand!” cried Araw, her small hands clinging onto the slippery banks."No, sister, I won’t,” replied Buwan, "for you will pull me in too!”Another time, Araw caught a cicada and put it in a cage she’d made out of bark. Buwan grabbed the cage and shook it."Sister, my sister,” cried Araw, "please be careful, because that is a present for our father.”

Answer
A
appreciates Araw’s generosity.
B
loses respect for Araw’s intelligence.
C
does not care about her sister’s well-being.
D
may be unaware of her sister’s treachery.

Explanation

Buwan refuses to help Araw when Araw is clinging to the riverbank, even though Araw could be in danger. Later, Buwan shakes the cage containing Araw’s gift for their father, despite Araw asking her to be careful. These actions show that Buwan does not care about her sister’s well-being.
