Question

In the summer of 2010, when I was ten, I went to Norway to visit my Grandfather Jorgen. He spent all his life on a small mountain farm, far from big cities and department stores. I was an American, I lived in a town, and I always thought that people simply bought what they needed. My grandfather showed me a different life. A little toy boat will always remind me of these life lessons. One day Grandfather Jorgen said, “Come here, I have something for you. Would you like to have a toy boat? You can sail it at the lake,” he said. “Wonderful”, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there wasn`t any. Grandfather took a piece of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. “You can bring it out.” Then he gave me a knife and showed me how to work with it. He answered my questions, but I did all the work myself. “It will be a fine boat, and you`ll be making it all with your hands,” he said. “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” He was saying it again as I was working. Finally, I finished the boat. The boat wasn`t much to look at, but I was proud of it. I could say, “I did it!” 0. The boy who tells the story was born in a) 2010 b)2000 c) 2003 1.

Answer 2

1. The boy who tells the story was born in: b) 2000

Since the story is set in the summer of 2010, and the boy is ten years old at that time, he must have been born in 2000.

2. Grandfather Joseph lived in: c) the country

The text mentions that Grandfather Jorgen spent all his life on a small mountain farm, far from big cities and department stores, which indicates that he lived in the countryside.

3. In the sentence “But there wasn`t any”, the word any refers to: a) the boat

The sentence refers to the absence of the toy boat, so "any" refers to "the boat."

4. Grandfather Joseph: c) showed his grandson how to make the toy boat

The story mentions that Grandfather Jorgen gave the boy a piece of wood and a knife and showed him how to work with it to make the toy boat. Therefore, he showed his grandson how to make the toy boat.

5. "The boat wasn't much to look at" means that: a) the boat wasn't very nice

The phrase "wasn't much to look at" indicates that the boat wasn't very attractive or visually impressive.

6. "I did it" shows: a) victory, success

When the boy says, "I did it," it shows that he feels a sense of accomplishment and pride in completing the boat on his own, signifying victory and success.
