Correct Answer
B. He could keep track of the hunters and the deer

Explanation
Being in the top of a tree during deer season would be advantageous because it would allow Sam to keep track of both the hunters and the deer. By being in an elevated position, Sam would have a better vantage point to observe the movements of both parties. This would enable him to stay aware of any potential danger from the hunters and also keep an eye on the deer, increasing his chances of success in hunting or avoiding being hunted.

B. False

Explanation
The given statement claims that Sam regained control of his Halloween party by running away from the animals. However, this explanation is not logical or plausible. Running away from the animals does not indicate regaining control, but rather the opposite. It suggests that Sam was overwhelmed and unable to handle the situation, resulting in him fleeing. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rate this question:
14.

B. False

Explanation
The statement says that Sam got his "VERY first" deer from shooting it with a bow and arrow. The word "VERY" implies that it was his first ever deer, meaning he had never shot a deer before. However, the answer is False, which suggests that Sam had shot a deer before using a different method. Therefore, the statement contradicts the answer given.
