down front with other children who got good marks

and who didn’t track in a whole lot of mud, did

Read the extract and answer the question given below:

Wanda Petronski. Most of the children in Room

Thirteen didn’t have names like that. She came to

school alone and went home alone. She didn’t have any friends, but a lot of girls talked to her. “A hundred!” exclaimed all the little girls

incredulously, and the little ones would stop playing hopscotch and listen.

In what way was Wanda different from the other children?

Choose all the correct options.

Suddenly she paused and shuddered.

She pictured herself in the school yard, a new target for Peggy and the girls. Peggy might ask her where she got the dress that she had on, and Maddie would have to say it was one of Peggy’s old ones that Maddie’s mother had tried to disguise with new trimmings so no one in Room Thirteen would recognise it.

Why didn’t Maddie ask Peggy to stop teasing Wanda? What was she afraid of?

Choose the correct option.

Read the extract and answer the question given below:

Sometimes, when Peggy was asking Wanda those questions in that mocking polite voice, Maddie felt embarrassed and studied the marbles in the palm of her hand, rolling them around and saying nothing to herself. But suppose Peggy and all the others started in on her next? She wasn’t as poor as Wanda, perhaps, but she was poor. Peggy might ask her where she got the dress that she had on, and Maddie would have to say it was one of Peggy’s old ones that Maddie’s mother had tried to disguise with new trimmings so no one in Room Thirteen would recognise it.

Why is Maddie embarrassed by the questions Peggy asks Wanda? Is she also like Wanda, or is she different?

Choose the correct option.

I am very happy to say that Wanda Petronski is the winner of the girls’ medal.”

Oh, Maddie was sure Peggy would win.

Who did Maddie think would win the drawing contest? Why?

Choose the correct option.
