Question

Excerpt from Wonder By J R Palacio

I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I mean, sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an XBox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at wherever they go. I wish I could walk down the street without people seeing me and then doing that look-away thing. Here’s what I think: the only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.

1. We can infer that the kid-

A. thinks people look at him likes he’s ordinary.
B. wishes he could act like all the other kids.
C. likes to do ordinary things.
D. looks different than other kids.****

2. Which quote helps you make your inference?

A. I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike.
B. I know ordinary kids don’t get started at wherever they go.****
C. The only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.
D. I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.

Short Answer: How do you think the kid feels about not being ordinary?

**** means my answer.

Answer 1

Agree, but it's stared at, not started.
