No One Can See Me! — Practice Quiz

She stuck her long tongue out to catch the cricket

Step 1: The story clearly describes the frog's action: 'the frog stuck her long tongue out to catch the cricket.' Step 2: Frogs in real life also use their long, sticky tongues to catch insects — so the story is accurate to real animal behaviour. Step 3: 'Luckily, the cricket heard the mouse and escaped into the bush' — so the tongue did not succeed. Step 4: There is no mention of the frog jumping on the cricket, calling other frogs, or chasing the cricket around the garden. Step 5: These wrong options describe actions that are not in the text.

He said sorry for teasing and thanked the mouse for the warning

Step 1: After the frog left, the cricket had learned an important lesson about being careful and humble. Step 2: The story says the cricket told the mouse: 'I'm sorry for teasing you earlier. I also want to thank you for warning me!' Step 3: This shows the cricket learned from his mistake and became humble. Step 4: He also added 'Next time, I will be careful,' which shows he will not boast again. Step 5: All other options are wrong — the cricket did not boast again, did not blame the mouse, and did not run away.

She was sitting quietly and watching the cricket, waiting

Step 1: The story tells us 'All this while, a frog had been watching the cricket.' Step 2: The frog was being patient and quiet, unlike the cricket who was loud and boastful. Step 3: The frog was simply 'waiting' — which means she was waiting for the right moment to catch the cricket. Step 4: This is very important because while the cricket thought he was safe, the frog could see him perfectly well! Step 5: The other options are made up and not mentioned anywhere in the story.

Simile — comparing two things using 'as' or 'like'

Step 1: The sentence compares the cricket's green colour with the green grass. Step 2: It uses the word 'as' to make this comparison: 'as green AS the grass.' Step 3: When we compare two things using 'as' or 'like,' we call it a simile. Step 4: A metaphor would say 'I am the grass' without using 'as' or 'like.' Rhyme involves matching end sounds, and alliteration is about repeating starting letters — neither apply here. Step 5: The Words in Use section of the chapter also focuses on similes with 'as ... as ...' patterns, confirming this is a simile.
