A Day in the Meadow

Make sure to stay hidden behind a large tree

Step 1: Read the instructions Bambi's mother gave carefully before going onto the meadow. Step 2: She said 'Now, I'll go out there first by myself.' Step 3: She told Bambi to 'stay here, wait and watch me.' Step 4: She also said 'if I call you, you must come straight away.' Step 5: Nowhere in the text did she mention hiding behind a large tree — this detail was never part of her instructions and is therefore the incorrect option. This question tests careful reading and attention to specific details in the story.

Descriptive language

Step 1: Look at the phrase 'broad green plain full of white daisies, violets and red clovers.' Step 2: It uses colour words like 'green', 'white' and 'red' and describing words like 'broad' to paint a picture. Step 3: The textbook itself explains that 'writers often use words to help readers think of touch, sight, sounds and smells — this is known as descriptive language.' Step 4: Factual language only gives plain information without sensory words. Dialogue is conversation between characters. Instructions tell you what to do. Step 5: This description of the meadow makes the reader imagine they

Step 1: The text says 'His mother became serious and attentive' just before entering the meadow. Step 2: She instructed Bambi to stay behind and let her go first. Step 3: The text says 'His mother listened carefully' after stepping out onto the meadow. Step 4: Only after listening carefully did she call for Bambi to come out. Step 5: This is a classic protective behaviour of a mother — she made sure there was no danger (like predators or hunters) before allowing her young one to enter the open space. The other options are not supported by the text.

so

Step 1: Read both parts of the sentence — 'He played football in the hot sun' and 'he has a headache.' Step 2: We need to find the relationship between these two ideas. Step 3: Playing football in hot sun CAUSES a headache — the headache is the RESULT of playing in the sun. Step 4: The conjunction 'so' is used to show the result or consequence of something. Step 5: 'And' just adds an idea, 'but' shows contrast or a change, and 'or' gives a choice — none of these show a cause-and-result relationship. Only 'so' correctly connects a cause (playing in the hot sun) to its result (getting a headache
