Henry Huggins Chapter 5

Ribsy won a prize for being the most unusual breed. This suggests that Ribsy is a dog that stands out from the rest due to its unique characteristics or physical appearance. The other options, such as cutest dog, sweetest dog, and best mutt, do not indicate anything about Ribsy being different or uncommon in any way. Therefore, the most suitable explanation is that Ribsy was recognized for being the most unusual breed among the dogs in the competition.

The correct answer is "Only five more days until Saturday." This answer suggests that Henry is looking forward to the weekend and is counting down the days until Saturday. It implies that he may not be particularly excited about school or may be feeling tired, but his anticipation for the weekend outweighs these thoughts.

Henry used his mother's shampoo to wash Ribsy instead of Fela Soap because it was a special occasion.

The two guppies were not a prize in the Dog Show.

Henry and Ribsy needed to run home during the entertainment to get some talcum powder. This suggests that they needed the talcum powder for a specific purpose, possibly to address a problem or fulfill a requirement. The reason for needing the talcum powder is not explicitly mentioned in the question, but it can be inferred that it was necessary for a particular task or situation.

The big boy on the bicycle was looking for Henry to get Ribsy. This suggests that Ribsy is a pet or a belonging of Henry's, and the big boy wanted to borrow or take Ribsy for some reason. The reason for wanting Ribsy is not provided in the question, but it can be inferred that the big boy had a specific purpose or need for Ribsy.

Henry used his mother's clothesline as a leash for Ribsy.

Maude the mule was the entertainment at the dog show.

The correct answer is "He chased his tail so much". This suggests that Ribsy's previous owner named him Dizzy because he would constantly chase his tail in circles, causing him to become dizzy.

Dizzy/Ribsy ran away from his previous owners because he felt lonesome and homesick when they went on vacation. This suggests that the owners did not provide enough attention or care for the dog, leading to feelings of loneliness and a desire to escape.

A mixed breed dog refers to a dog that is a combination of two or more different breeds. In this case, the question is asking about a dog that is pink in color, which is not a characteristic associated with any specific breed. Therefore, the most logical answer would be a mixed breed, as it allows for the possibility of a dog being pink regardless of its specific breed composition.

Scooter's dog won a small silver cup.

Ribsy decided to stay with Henry.

Henry encountered a problem when bathing Ribsy because he couldn't dry Ribsy off. This suggests that Ribsy may have been wet and Henry struggled to remove the moisture from Ribsy's fur, possibly due to Ribsy moving around or being uncooperative.
