    The given answer, "was sad and worried about Black Beauty," can be inferred from the information provided in the question.

    • What to do if a horse gets sick.

    • Training a new farm hand.

    Correct Answer
    A. Black Beauty's love for the Gordon's.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Black Beauty's love for the Gordon's. The story focuses on Black Beauty's affection and attachment towards the Gordon family. It explores the bond and relationship between the horse and the family, highlighting the love and care they provide to Black Beauty. The other options mentioned in the question, such as a doctor making house calls, what to do if a horse gets sick, and training a new farm hand, are not the main themes or central ideas of the story.

    • At 3:00 am

    • In the middle of the afternoon.

    • Early in the evening.

    • Around midnight

    Correct Answer
    A. At 3:00 am
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "around midnight." This is because 3:00 am is generally considered to be around midnight, as it is in the early hours of the morning. The other options mentioned in the question, such as "in the middle of the afternoon" and "early in the evening," are contradictory and do not match the given time of 3:00 am.

    When Black Beauty got home,

    • He felt good about helping the doctor.

    • He was hot and hurt.

    • He wanted something cold to drink.

    • He wanted to see Joe.

    Correct Answer
    A. He was hot and hurt.
    Explanation
    When Black Beauty got home, he was hot and hurt. This suggests that he had been through some physical exertion or had encountered some kind of injury. The fact that he felt hot indicates that he may have been running or exerting himself in some way. The feeling of being hurt further reinforces the idea that he may have been injured. Overall, this answer implies that Black Beauty's physical condition upon arriving home was uncomfortable and in need of attention.

    Correct Answer
    A. Mrs. Gordon was sick and they had to move.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that Mrs. Gordon was sick and they had to move. This explanation suggests that the reason the horse had to go to another farm is because Mrs. Gordon was sick and they had to relocate.

    • He was a big star.

    • He was very sick.

    • They wanted to take him home.

    • They were seeing the Gordon's.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were seeing the Gordon's.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "they were seeing the Gordon's." This suggests that many people came to see Black Beauty because they wanted to see the Gordon's, who were likely the owners or caretakers of Black Beauty.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Because of Black Beauty,

    • The Gordon's had to run away.

    • Mrs. Gordon had a bad fall.

    • John was able to keep his job on the farm.

    • The doctor was able to help Mrs. Gordon.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Gordon's had to run away.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the Gordon's had to run away." This is because the statement "Because of Black Beauty" implies that something negative or problematic happened as a result of Black Beauty. Since the other statements mention a bad fall, John keeping his job, and the doctor helping Mrs. Gordon, none of these seem to be negative outcomes that would require the Gordon's to run away. Therefore, the most logical explanation is that the Gordon's had to run away because of Black Beauty.

    • Felt he had not helped Black Beauty.

    • Saw Black Beauty was hurt and tired.

    • Did not care about Black Beauty.

    Correct Answer
    A. Felt he had not helped Black Beauty.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "felt he had not helped Black Beauty." This answer is supported by the statement that Joe Greem "felt" a certain way, indicating his emotional response. The other options are not supported by the given information. There is no mention of Joe seeing that Black Beauty was hurt and tired or knowing what to do to help. Additionally, there is no indication that Joe did not care about Black Beauty.
