Writing an Analysis of "To Build a Fire," Part 3 — Unit test
Question 17 • English 9 A
Read the excerpt from "Lost.”"I didn’t mean that,” Latoya said, her voice softer. "They warned us about this, you know; people getting short-tempered when they’re frightened. Look, I’m going to find us an overhang, I’ll whistle when I find one. Put the berries in the empty bag from the granola bars.” She glanced at the sky again. "And hurry. We don’t have long before the rain gets bad.”
Answer
A
by allowing Latoya and Kim to comfortably rest
B
by allowing Latoya and Kim to enjoy the weather
C
by forcing Latoya and Kim to move their location
D
by forcing Latoya and Kim to abandon their food
Explanation
Latoya says the rain will get bad soon, so she is looking for an overhang where they can take shelter. This means the weather is pushing Latoya and Kim to change where they are, not helping them rest or enjoy the weather. The best answer is “by forcing Latoya and Kim to move their location.”
