1. What does this last line of this section suggest about what will happen next?
The correct option is the last one: THEN MEN WILL SOON HAVE BETTER DAYS because the existence of a camp means that they found a bigger group of people that probably gave them security and hope face to the situation they were living alone hearing all the distant shouts.
The first option: the men will continue to feel uneasy and fearful is not correct because of the existence of a camp that later joined and helped them; the second option: the men will feel more and more hopeful is not operable because by that moment they were feeling really bad and hopeless. Finally, the third option: The men will find new ways to communicate cannot be the correct one because we have not evidence that could lead us to think that they would be finding ways to communicate with other people.
2. What part of this line most clearly adds to the tension in the story? (SAME STORY)
The correct option is the last one because of the mystery that it adds to the story; at this respect we can say that we don’t know, as lectors, what happened next to they found the camp; we can only make inferences. The first option: the contrast between the fire and the darkness is not the correct one because this metaphor could be working better as a sign of hope, for example; the second option: using the word launched to describe the departure is not correct because of its appearance inside the text: it is almost at the beginning: the fourth option: the description of the men turning their backs is not operable because it doesn’t assure us that something strange is going to occur.
3. What is the effect of the word panic on the story?
The correct option is the last one: It suggests what the characters should be feeling about the situation in where they are; the first, second and third option are not operable because they are not related with the context that we, as lectors, can identify in the text: they are in a difficult situation that leads them to feel pain and fear about what are they living and what are they will experiment in their near future.
4. What does Henry’s comment show about his character?
The correct option is the third one: his need to comfort his friend because he is agreeing what the other guy is saying. As we can see they are in a hard situation and this is why, besides they’re experimenting fear, they try to think positive and be brave. The first option about the dogs is not the correct one because he doesn’t show himself really interested for what happens to the dogs; the second one about his complaining is not reliable because we have no evidence about this behavior in Henry and the last one about taking care of himself doesn’t work because they are working, since the beginning, as a team.
5. What was the main problem with relying on nature to start a flame?
The correct option is the last one: fire was likely hard to find, requiring a "long journey and a deal of trouble" because of their situation: we don’t know what was perturbing them, but they weren’t feeling safe, so it seems like they didn’t be in the same place for a long time.
