Question 10 • FL-1000010-M/J Intensive Reading A

What sentence from Holes contains the implied character trait that Stanley is thoughtful toward others?

Answer

Stanley and his parents had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp for a while, just like rich kids do.

He looked at the guard who sat slumped in his seat and wondered if he had fallen asleep.

Stanley thought about the long, miserable bus ride and felt a little sorry for the guard and bus driver.

“Uh, yes, Mr. Sir,” he said, though he couldn’t imagine that was really the man’s name.

Explanation

Stanley shows thoughtfulness by considering how other people feel. In choice C, he thinks about the long, miserable bus ride and feels sorry for the guard and bus driver, showing concern for their discomfort. The other sentences describe pretending, observing the guard, or speaking to Mr. Sir without showing the same sympathy.
