Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
“I won't be introduced to the pudding, please,” Alice said rather hastily, “or we shall get no dinner at all. May I give you some?”
But the Red Queen looked sulky, and growled “Pudding – Alice; Alice – Pudding. Remove the pudding!” and the waiters took it away so quickly that Alice couldn't return its bow.
However, she didn't see why the Red Queen should be the only one to give orders, so, as an experiment, she called out “Waiter! Bring back the pudding!” and there it was again in a moment like a conjuring-trick. It was so large that she couldn't help feeling a LITTLE shy with it, as she had been with the mutton; however, she conquered her shyness by a great effort and cut a slice and handed it to the Red Queen.
What do the details in the excerpt show about what Alice wants?
1.They show that Alice wants to be in control of her life.
2.They show that Alice wants the pudding removed from the table.
3.They show that Alice wants to please the Red Queen.
4.They show that Alice wants to leave the Looking-Glass world.
Answer:
I believe the answer is 3. They show that Alice wants to please the Red Queen.
Explanation:
The answer can not be 2, because Alice is the one attempting to bring it back I believe, but the Red Queen is the one declining and wanting it away. It can not be 4, because nowhere in the paragraphs read did she mention leaving, it was only about the pudding mainly. The answers you would mainly be stuck with I believe is 1 and 3, Alice is not forcing anything onto herself nor' the Red Queen though I believe, so I would not say she wants to be in control of her life. So it mainly leads down to option/choice 3. Alice wants to please the Red Queen with the pudding. (?)
Answer:
I believe the answer is 1

Answer:
please stop breaking it -----> begging
countless animals dying ----> sadness
dissension, discord, and rebellion -----> anger
flocks of geese landing in early spring ------> hopefulness.
Explanation:
Please stop breaking it is begging because it uses please. Ex: Please answer this question correctly!
Countless animals dying is sadness because you wouldn't be angry or hopeful about it. Dying is keyword. Ex: You grandmother died.
Dissension, discord, and rebellion is anger because those words mean to disagree and you wouldn't be sad because you disagree with something.
Ex: They are not treating us right, so we're going to rebel.
Flocks of geese landing in early spring is hopefulness because the geese won't get stuck in the winter and won't die. So countless animals aren't dying.
Ex: The geese mated in the spring, so their population is increasing.

Summary for this paragraph
Video games have also been blamed for the rise in obesity. People may choose video games over physical activity. This problem can be avoided by making time for physical activity. Also, some video games can actually help people be more physically active. These games allow players to move their bodies to control the game. Some people say these games don’t have the same benefits as “real” physical activity. Others see them as a good way to encourage people to move more.
Answer:
Many video games tend to make people stay put in a place and hence are blamed for the rise in obesity since the person does not move around too much . And also the time used in playing such games can be used for other activities ,something more productive. However, there are also games in which the players have to move their bodies in order to simulate and control the game and thus can be counted as an activity. Some people say that this can't be termedas real physical activity and also that it does not have the same benefits while others see this as a good encouragement to move and stay active.

In Chapter 1, Mrs. Whatsit visits the Murray home for the first time.
What inference can be made about Mrs. Whatsit at this point in the story?
Answer:She had once been a star and had done battle with the Black Thing, which is why she has fallen into her current form.
Explanation:
Answer: The first chapter of L'Engle's book introduces us to the main characters of the novel and sets up the principal conflicts that each must surmount int he course of their respective journeys. For Meg, no doubt the main character, her conflict involves rising above her seemingly low self-esteem to embrace her own idiosyncrasy and unique abilities. Here we see all the hints of foreshadowing that will unite to incite her towards adventure and discovery - her melancholy feelings at lacking a father, her separation from other students her age, and a feeling of being unsettled in the real world.
Meg certainly wishes she could be more like her younger twin brothers, who are both described as B students, athletic, and clearly part of the crowd at school that easily fits in.
To identify conflict in a story, look for
O solutions to problems that characters face or for the ending to the story.
O tense, dramatic scenes or challenges that arise for the characters.
O scenes or moments that show the main character reaching a goal.
O the introduction of new characters or for the beginning of the story.
Answer: (B) Tense dramatic scenes or challenges that arise for the characters
