Question 6 • RIDDLE-FL-1700370-Critical Thinking and Study Skills 25/26
Read the passage from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation.”When Harry died, Sheila and her mother went to the funeral: "When we got to Chesham, we were treated like the closest members of his family. In fact, in the church – and this was the first Christian funeral my mother and I had ever been to – we were put to sit in the front row, in front of Uncle Harry's nieces and nephews. It was only then, I think, that I really appreciated how much our little family had meant to him – and had gone on meaning to him all his life.”–"Children of the Wartime Evacuation,”Julie Summers
Answer
A
Sheila and her mother went to Harry’s funeral to honor his memory.
B
When Harry died, Sheila and her mother were invited to the funeral.
C
Harry’s family treated Sheila and her mother very kindly at the funeral.
D
At the church, Sheila and her mother sat in the front with Harry’s family.
Explanation
Sheila says she and her mother were treated like Harry’s closest family members and were seated in the front row ahead of his nieces and nephews. This shows that Harry’s family treated them very kindly at the funeral. Choice D is tempting, but they sat in front of Harry’s nieces and nephews, not with them.
