1 1. Why did Framton Nuttrel go to the country? A. he wanted to meet some new people B. he needed some rest and relaxation C. to go hunting for birds and ducks D. to deliver some letters for his sister Edge Level A Unit 1 Cluster 3 The Open Window The correct answer is B. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they represent inaccurate Option A is incorrect because as the reader learns on page 56 the main reason Framton went to the country was to rest and cure his nerves not for the purpose of meeting new people. Option B is correct because as the reader learns on page 56 Framton needs rest and relaxation. Option C is incorrect because he did know go to the country to go hunting. Option D is incorrect because as the reader learns on page 57 My sister stayed here four years ago. She gave me letters of introduction to some of the people she met. The idea is that when Framton met someone who knew his sister, he would have a letter to help the person make the connection between the sister and brother; these were not letters she was asking him to deliver so that she didn t have to pay postage on them. 2. Which best summarizes the plot of The Open Window? F. It begins with a wild story created by Vera and ends with another wild story created by Vera. G. It begins with Framton peacefully arriving at the Sappleton s and ends with him calmly leaving their house. H. It begins with three men going hunting and it ends with the three men returning from hunting. I. It begins with a man and a girl talking in a room of the Sappleton s house and ends with the Mr. and Mrs. Sappleton chatting in the same room. The correct answer is F. Options G, H, and I are incorrect because they represent inaccurate Option F is correct because The Open Window begins on page 57 with Vera telling a story about her aunt s great tragedy, On this day three years ago, her husband, her two young brothers, and their little brown dog left through that window to go hunting. They never came back. The story ends on page 61 with Vera telling her aunt another story that Framton ran off Copyright 2010 The Hampton-Brown Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The National Geographic Society, publishing under the imprints National Geographic School Publishing and Hampton-Brown.

2 because he was afraid of dogs. Option G is incorrect because Framton arrives peacefully but he does not leave calmly; he leaves in a rush, thinking he had seen a ghost (page 60). Option H is incorrect because Vera tells of the three men who went hunting towards the beginning of the story, and they return almost at the end of the story. The story actually ends with Vera s fabrication of Framton leaving because he is afraid of dogs. Option I is incorrect because it does begin with a man (Framton) talking with a girl (Vera) in a room and ends with the girl (Vera) talking with her aunt (Mrs. Sappleton) in the same room. 3. Which statement does NOT reflect the characters or events in this story? A. Vera appears to be quite confident and self-assured while Framton seems to be very shy and nervous. B. Framton mainly talks about his health while Vera creates and tells plausible but untrue stories. C. A great tragedy happened to Vera s aunt exactly three years before Framton arrived at the Sappleton s. D. Mr. Sappleton and Mrs. Sappleton s two brothers went bird hunting together with a small brown dog. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they represent inaccurate Option A is incorrect because on page 56 Vera is described as being confident and Framton is shy. On page 56 his sister says that he is going to cure his nerves... and that he won t speak to anyone down there. Option B is incorrect because as the reader learns on page 59 Framton talks only about his health. Vera uses her imagination to construct wild tales that she tells to the adults. Option C is correct because the great tragedy did not really happen except in Vera s imagination. Option D is incorrect because the three men and their dog did go hunting the day Framton arrived at the Sappleton s. 4. Why did Framton suddenly leave the Sappleton s house? F. He was afraid of the hunters brown dog. G. He thought the hunters might use their rifles to shoot him. H. He saw Vera looking through the window with a terrified expression on her face. I. He thought he saw ghosts coming toward him. The correct answer is I. Options F, G, and H are incorrect because they represent inaccurate Option F is incorrect because he was not afraid of dogs; that was only in Vera s imagination. Option G is incorrect because he was not afraid of being shot. Option H is incorrect because he did see a look of fear on Vera s face; however, that is not why he left the house. Option I is Hampton Brown Edge Level A, Unit 1, Cluster 3 2 of 6
3 correct because as the reader learns on page 60, it was the sight of the three hunters and the dog returning and the fact that a hoarse young voice sang out: I said, Bertie, why do you bound? which were the words that, on page 58, Vera said Mrs. Sappleton s youngest brother would call out. 5. With which statement would the author of this story most likely agree? A. A short story should contain lots of description so the reader can see and feel the setting of the story. B. A short story should contain some funny sections to keep the reader entertained. C. A short story should contain suspense and finish with a surprise ending. D. A short story should take place in many settings to keep the action lively. LA Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they represent incorrect analysis or evaluation of the impact of the author s purpose or perspective on the text. Option A is incorrect because his short story is not full of description. Option B is incorrect because his short story does not contain any humorous sections or events. Option C is correct because the story is very suspenseful and the ending is a surprise and could not be predicted by the reader. Option D is incorrect because the story takes place in one setting a downstairs room in the Sappleton s house. Hampton Brown Edge Level A, Unit 1, Cluster 3 3 of 6
4 Edge Level A Unit 1 Cluster 3 One in a Million 6. The main purpose of this folk tale is most likely to F. encourage readers to believe what they know is true rather than fancy words that may not be true G. arouse readers interest in stories that take place in different cultures in countries very far away H. describe the life of a worker who depends on his lazy donkey to help with the chores I. show how hard life can be without machines and technology LA The correct answer is F. Options G, H, and I are incorrect because they represent incorrect interpretations of the author s purpose or perspective. Option F is correct because the lesson of the folk tale is that Nasruddin Hodja knew his donkey was a bag of bones and that he refused to obey any orders so he sells it for 30 dinars. At the end of the story, he reacts to the flowery words and praise for his donkey and ends up bidding 80 dinars for the same donkey. Option G is incorrect because although the setting of the story is the Middle East, the purpose is not to evoke interest in multicultural tales from other lands. Option H is incorrect because although the tale is about a man who had a lazy donkey, that is not the purpose of the tale; it is designed to provide a lesson for the reader. Option I is incorrect because although life without modern mechanized vehicles may be difficult, that is not the purpose of the folk tale. 7. In the story The Open Window and in the folk tale One in a Million a character convinces another character to believe something or to take an action. Which statement reflects this part of the plot of one of the stories? A. Vera convinced her aunt that the hunters will actually return. B. Framton convinced Vera that the hunters died three years ago. C. Hodja is convinced that his donkey has suddenly become a super-donkey. D. Hodja is convinced he needs to sell his lazy, unhelpful donkey. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they represent inaccurate Option A is incorrect because it was Framton that Vera convinced that the ghosts may reappear. Her aunt knew that the hunters had left that day and would return later the same day. Option B is incorrect because Vera was the one spinning the tale and trying to convince Framton of the Hampton Brown Edge Level A, Unit 1, Cluster 3 4 of 6
5 tragedy she created in her mind. Option C is correct because on page 64 the reader learns that Hodja believed what the seller had to say that his donkey had become a super-donkey, not an ordinary donkey but a one in a million donkey. Option D is incorrect because he did not need to be convinced that his donkey should be sold; he knew it was useless and selling it was his only option. 8. Why did Nasruddin Hodja buy back his own donkey? F. He found he couldn t get his work done without the donkey. G. The donkey s new owner said he was an exceptional beast. H. He was lonely without his donkey. I. Other men were bidding many dinars for the donkey. The correct answer is G. Options F, H, and I are incorrect because they represent plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Option F is incorrect because he never tried to get along without the donkey; he sold it and bought it back on the same day. Option G is correct because the man who bought the donkey from Hodja advertised it (on page 63) as a one in a million donkey, a fine animal, clean and strong, an exceptional creature. Option H is incorrect because he didn t have enough time to miss the animal since he was not without his donkey for very long. Option I is incorrect because although other men were bidding for the donkey, he bought it back because he thought it had become a super-donkey. The fact that others were bidding for the donkey only meant that Hodja spent a lot more on the donkey than the 30 dinar that the sold it for. 9. What did NOT influence Hodja s decision to buy back the donkey? A. the donkey seller s clever words B. the fact that others were offering money for the donkey C. the donkey s unchanged appearance D. he needed a donkey to help him Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they represent accurate Option A is incorrect because Hodja was greatly influenced by the words the seller used to describe the donkey. Option B is incorrect because as the bidding of other men continued; Hodja became more and more convinced that his donkey had great value and that he should get it back. Option C is correct because he was not swayed by the appearance of the donkey he looked the same as when Hodja sold him. Option D is incorrect because he needed a donkey who could work; his donkey wouldn t. Hampton Brown Edge Level A, Unit 1, Cluster 3 5 of 6
6 10. Read the excerpts from the folk tale. the beast was a bag of bones scratching his scraggly beard flowery words floated What literary device does the author use in these phrases? F. imagery, creating vivid pictures G. tone, expressing the sadness of the situation H. alliteration, repeating the beginning consonant sounds I. onomatopoeia, using words that sound like their meanings LA The correct answer is H. Options F, G, and I are incorrect because they represent inaccurate interpretations of descriptive language. Option F is incorrect because the excerpt does not contain an example of imagery. Imagery is figurative language that communicates sensory experience. Imagery can help the reader imagine how people, places, and things look, sound, taste, smell, and feel. It can also make the reader think about emotions and ideas that commonly go with certain sensations (page 758, Literary Terms). Option G is incorrect because the excerpt does not contain an example of tone. Tone is a writer s or speaker s attitude toward his or her topic or audience or toward him- or herself. A writer s tone may be positive, negative, or neutral. The words the writer chooses, the sentence structure, and the overall pattern of words convey the intended tone (page 763, Literary Terms). Option H is correct because there is an example of alliteration in the excerpt. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds (usually consonants) at the beginning of words that are close together (page 754, Literary Terms). The sound of /b/ is repeated in the first excerpt, the sound of /sc/ is repeated in the middle excerpt, and the sound of /fl/ is repeated in the final excerpt. Option I is incorrect because the excerpt does not contain an example of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sounds they refer to (page 759, Literary Terms).
