Answer (1)
Let's take a step-by-step approach to answer these questions based on the passage provided.
a. Timmy Tiger was admiring Bubble Bear's clothes. The word 'admire' means:
To answer this question, we need to understand what 'admire' implies. When someone is admiring something, they are looking at it with pleasure or approval. This action does not merely involve looking but includes a degree of liking or appreciating the object in question.
Chosen option: ii. like
b. Timmy Tiger's eyes stopped at his belly. The word 'belly' means:
The term 'belly' is often used colloquially to refer to the stomach area of a person or an animal. It is not a piece of clothing (like a coat), a part of clothing (like a button), or a part of the lower body (like feet).
Chosen option: iv. stomach
c. Why do you think Timmy Tiger's eyes stopped at Bubble Bear's belly?
For this question, we use inference, which means drawing a conclusion based on the context provided in the passage. Timmy Tiger's eyes stopping at Bubble Bear's belly might suggest that there was something unusual or noteworthy about that area, such as an interesting part of the costume or perhaps even something humorous related to the fancy dress party.
Without additional context, we can creatively infer that the costume at Bubble Bear's belly may have had a unique design, pattern, or perhaps something funny that caught Timmy Tiger's attention. It's important to note that in literary analysis, authors often use such details to add depth or humor to a story.
Overall, these questions help us appreciate the details that an author might include in a narrative to engage a reader's imagination and encourage them to visualize or think critically about the characters and events in a story.
