Question 25 • RIDDLE-FL-1700370-Critical Thinking and Study Skills 25/26

Read the passage from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."Of course it would be raining!” said Edmund. They had just finished their breakfast with the Professor and were upstairs in the room he had set apart for them — a long, low room with two windows looking out in one direction and two in another."Do stop grumbling, Ed,” said Susan. "Ten to one it’ll clear up in an hour or so. And in the meantime we’re pretty well off. There’s a wireless and lots of books.”–The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,C. S. LewisNow read the passage from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation.”As I enjoyed my experience on the Williamses' farm so my brother did not. It is not perhaps surprising. We were very different personalities – he an introvert, I an extrovert. He tended to opt out of activities around the farm; I volunteered for everything. I loved every minute of it. I don't think I was particularly aware of Michael's unhappiness at the time, because I was enjoying myself.–"Children of the Wartime Evacuation,”Julie Summers

Answer
A
Living in the country is nothing like living in the city.
B
It is always more fun to face challenges with friends.
C
Family members do not always get along with one another.
D
People can have different reactions to the same situation.

Explanation

Both passages show people reacting differently to the same circumstances. Edmund complains about the rain, while Susan points out that they have books and a wireless to enjoy. In the second passage, the narrator loves farm activities, but her brother is unhappy there. Together, these examples support the idea that people can have different reactions to the same situation.
