The plane they were flying in was shot down, making it crash into a tropical jungle which caused the boys to be where they are.
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
A group of school boys were being evacuated from an ugly war in Britain. They were being evacuated by an airplane. While the plane was in air, it was shot down and it crash landed the middle of a tropical forest. According to the text, as the plane crashed, it left a 'scar' on the ground of the forest.
After they crash landed, the boys on the plane were stranded. The boys assemble after one of the boys, Ralph, uses a conch shell to call out other boys. The boys make Ralph their leader who further instructs the boys to hunt for food. Furthermore, he asks boys to make prepare a fire to signal any passing planes and ships. But the boys were more into enjoying their time without the grown ups until they let a large portion of the forest catch fire, which presumably kills a boy. Circumstances make the boys transition from innocent to savage and bloodthirsty children desperate to survive.

<h2>
Answer: D</h2>
Explanations:
A. Is angry that the coffee is too weak. I don't believe this is the answer, because, "blinked red eyes at the weak brew of coffee" Isn't the main idea or key detail, and isn't important at all.
B. Doesn't appreciate the effort of the narrator to make breakfast. Not really the answer, because if the mom didn't really appreciate the breakfast, it would've shown more evidence for that. Besides, some people wake up cranky ;w;
C. Is frustrated that she had been woken up by the narrator. No. Nowhere in the second paragraph it says that the mom was woken up by the narrator.
D. Feels very tired even after a good night's sleep. Yes. I believe this is the answer because in paragraph 1, the narrator made sure the TV was low so the mom could sleep. In paragraph 2, It's obvious that the mom feels very tired because of these clues: Yawned a hat-sized yawn, and blinked red eyes.
