    Explanation

    The passage states that everyone in the Tuck family had a drink from the spring in the forest except for the team of horses that pulled their wagon.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement says that the family first realized something was peculiar when Miles fell out of a tree and didn't hurt himself. However, the answer is false because the statement does not provide any information about what the family realized or what was peculiar. Therefore, we cannot determine whether the statement is true or false based on the given information.

  • 9. 

    Why did the Tucks have to keep moving from place to place?

    Correct Answer
    So people would not realize that they weren't aging
    Explanation
    The Tucks had to keep moving from place to place so that people would not realize that they weren't aging. This is because the Tucks had accidentally discovered a spring that granted them eternal life. If they stayed in one place for too long, people would start to notice that they never aged or got sick, which would attract unwanted attention and potentially lead to dangerous consequences. Moving frequently allowed them to maintain their secret and avoid suspicion from others.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    When Tuck was out on the pond with Winnie, what did he compare his family's situation with?

    Correct Answer
    A stuck rowboat. A wheel.
    Explanation
    Tuck compared his family's situation with a stuck rowboat and a wheel. This comparison suggests that Tuck's family is trapped or unable to move forward, much like a rowboat stuck in one place or a wheel that is unable to turn. It implies that Tuck's family is facing a difficult or stagnant situation that they are unable to escape from.
