IV) Read the passage below. Then answer the questions that follow. (7)

It was late one night when I was walking home from seeing my grandfather. It was almost
nine, and I knew Mom was going to be mad. Even though it was summer, she didn't like me
staying out past dark. And I was going to be in even more trouble because after practice, I
was so hungry that I spent my allowance on a sandwich.
Just as I was reaching the corner of Maple Avenue, I heard a little squeak. It was a gray
kitten tottering toward me. He must have been about five weeks old because he could walk
and his eyes were open, but he was still pretty small.
I really wanted to take him home, but I could already hear Mom saying that we couldn't
afford to keep another cat. We already had three, and Tiger was getting old. Last week we
had to take him to the vet.
I didn't know what to do exactly, so I took my sandwich out of the bag and set it on the
sidewalk. The kitten ran away when I unwrapped it, so I just left it there for him, hoping
that he would come back and eat the meat.
All night long I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about the kitten. I felt bad
because I should have done more to help him. The next morning on the way to school I went
past the corner where I'd seen him, but he wasn't there. I just hope someone is keeping
him safe. Yesterday I found out about this neighborhood group that helps rescue wild cats.
I think I'm going to ask Mom whether I can volunteer.

1) Why didn't the narrator take the kitten home?

a) He was worried about its health.


b) He didn’t know whether he could keep it.
c) He felt sorry for his mom.
d) He wasn’t sure he liked it.

2) What can you infer (conclude) about Tiger?
