Where did Pip live?
A in a warm, sandy cave
B on a green, grassy hill
C on a cold, white island
D on a small, rocky boat
Correct answer: C — on a cold, white island • What is the question asking? It asks for a fact that the text states.
- Go back to the text and find the evidence: “Pip was a little penguin who lived on a cold, white island.”
- The first sentence tells us where Pip lived.
- So the correct answer is C (on a cold, white island).
- Why the other options are wrong:
- A (in a warm, sandy cave): The story says Pip's home was cold and white, not warm and sandy.
- B (on a green, grassy hill): The hill was icy, and Pip lived on an island.
- D (on a small, rocky boat): The story does not say Pip lived on a boat.
Go back to the text and find the exact words that answer the question, then match them to an option.
