    • He was a liar

    Correct Answer
    A. He was too good
    Explanation
    The boys didn't like Willie Mufferson because he was too good. This suggests that the boys might have felt intimidated or insecure in his presence. They could have perceived him as being superior or perfect, which could have made them feel inadequate or jealous. This could have resulted in them disliking him.

    • A beetle

    • A dog

    • A knife

    • A Bible

  • 5. 

    Tom sat next to the aisle so he

    • Could hear better

    • Could leave early

    • Could help the minister

    • Couldn't look out the window

    Correct Answer
    A. Couldn't look out the window
    Explanation
    Tom chose to sit next to the aisle because it would prevent him from being able to look out the window. This suggests that Tom may have a tendency to get distracted or lose focus when there are distractions outside, so he intentionally positioned himself in a way that would limit his ability to do so. By not being able to look out the window, Tom can better concentrate on whatever is happening inside the room or auditorium.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    In this chapter, the author is mostly interested in 

    • Tom's treasures

    • Sunday School

    • A church service

    • Tom's new dog

    Correct Answer
    A. A church service
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a church service." This can be inferred from the fact that the other options, such as "Tom's treasures," "Sunday School," and "Tom's new dog," are unrelated to the chapter's main focus. Therefore, it can be concluded that the author is primarily interested in discussing a church service in this chapter.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    This chapter suggests that laughter

    • Doesn't belong in a church

    • Can be cruel

    • Can be refreshing

    • Can be foolish

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't belong in a church
    Explanation
    The chapter suggests that laughter doesn't belong in a church. This implies that the author believes that laughter is inappropriate or disrespectful in a religious setting. It could be argued that the author views the church as a solemn and serious place, where laughter would be seen as disruptive or irreverent. This perspective may be influenced by religious traditions or cultural norms that prioritize reverence and solemnity in religious spaces.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

  • 9. 

    Do you think most people secretly feel the way Tom does about school and church and proper clothes?  Explain your answer?
