- A.
  
  Had a difficult time crawling under the fence
- B.
  
  She did not have enough food to eat
- C.
  
  She had plenty of herbs to treat the wound
- D.
  
  Both A & B
Correct Answer
A. Had a difficult time crawling under the fence

Explanation
The correct answer is "Both A & B". This is because the question states that when Karana made it back to her house, she had a difficult time crawling under the fence. This implies that she faced a challenge while trying to enter her house. Additionally, the question does not mention anything about her food supply, so it cannot be determined whether she had enough food to eat or not.

- A.
  
  Food
- B.
  
  Water
- C.
  
  Medicine
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Water

Explanation
Karana left her home due to a lack of water. This suggests that the scarcity of water was the main reason for her departure. Without access to this essential resource, Karana likely had no choice but to leave in search of a place where she could find water to survive.

Another source to quinch Karana's thirst is
- A.
  
  Coconuts
- B.
  
  Ocean
- C.
  
  Cactus
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
C. Cactus

Explanation
Cactus is another source to quench Karana's thirst. This is because cacti are well-adapted to arid environments and have the ability to store water in their stems and leaves. They have specialized structures called spines that help reduce water loss through evaporation. Therefore, cacti can provide water to Karana in a desert or dry environment where other sources like coconuts and the ocean may not be available.

F. Both A & C

Explanation
The correct answer is "Both A & C". The question states that when Karana saw the big wild dog, she listened and crawled on swiftly without looking back. Option A states that she shot her bow and arrow at him, which is not mentioned in the question. Option B states that she left her bow and arrow behind, which is also not mentioned. Option C states that she listened, which is mentioned in the question. Therefore, options A and C are correct.

- A.
  
  In a cave
- B.
  
  On the ledge of black rock
- C.
  
  Back in her home
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
A. In a cave

Explanation
The given answer "in a cave" is correct because it states that Karana found safe shelter. This implies that she sought refuge in a place that provided protection and security. The other options, such as "on the ledge of black rock" or "back in her home," do not necessarily indicate a safe shelter or refuge. Therefore, "in a cave" is the most appropriate choice based on the information provided.

Rate this question:

- A.
  
  One night
- B.
  
  Three nights
- C.
  
  6 days
- D.
  
  One week
Correct Answer
C. 6 days

Explanation
Karana stayed in the cave for 6 days. This is the correct answer because it is the only option that is a specific duration of time. The other options ("one night," "three nights," and "one week") are not as precise and do not accurately represent the length of time Karana stayed in the cave.

- D.
  
  She did not need another home
Correct Answer
B. She needed a place near fresh water where she could stay when hurt or sick.

Explanation
Karana set up another home because she needed a place near fresh water where she could stay when hurt or sick. This suggests that she wanted a safe and convenient location to take care of herself during times of illness or injury. It implies that her current home lacked access to fresh water or was not suitable for her needs in such situations.

- E.
  
  All of the above
- F.

Karana put herbs for medicine in her new home to ensure she had access to natural remedies. She also collected shellfish and seeds, which could be used as a source of food. Additionally, she kept a bow and arrows for hunting and self-defense purposes. Lastly, she had a bed to provide herself with a comfortable place to sleep. Therefore, all of the options listed above are correct.

- B.

- C.

- D.
  
  Some fo the teeth from the sea elephant
Correct Answer
D. Some fo the teeth from the sea elepHant

Explanation
When Karana returned to the place where the sea elephants had fought, she found some of the teeth from the sea elephant. This suggests that the fight between the sea elephants was intense and resulted in the loss of teeth for one of them. It also indicates that Karana was able to locate and collect these teeth, possibly for some purpose or as a memento of the encounter.

Rate this question:
10.

- C.
  
  Woven baskets from reeds
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Basins cut in the stone

Explanation
Karana stored water in the cave using basins cut in the stone. This is evident from the fact that she had cut basins in the stone to collect and store water. The other options, jugs made of sea kelp and woven baskets from reeds, are not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered as the correct answer.
