Question
Use the paragraph to answer the question.
A farmer had a horse that had been a faithful servant to him: but he was now grown too old to work; so the farmer would give him nothing more to eat, and said, "I want you no longer, so take yourself off out of my stable; I shall not take you back again until you are stronger than a lion." Then he opened the door and turned him adrift.

2. Use the excerpt to answer the question.
As Jessie climbed down into the rowboat, Lana scooted over on the bench to make room for her.
“We have to pick up Martin now,” Lana said, handing Jessie one of the oars. “And we should hurry so we can be long gone before the patrol barge comes by.”
Lana hadn’t told Mom where she was going. Her mother had been smoothing a washcloth over Damon’s forehead as Lana had headed out. When her mother had asked where she was off to, Lana had tossed out some vague explanation. It was better for Mom not to worry. She had enough to worry about these days. They all did.

Mia slammed the door and dove onto her bed, pounding her fists into her pillow. She had done what her parents had asked her. She had researched every last detail about the sleepover camp that she wanted so desperately to go to this summer. She presented her findings to her parents at the dinner table tonight. She even typed up a handout explaining why going to camp would benefit her and her whole family. She had to prove to them that there were other reasons why she wanted to go to this camp; it was not just because her best friend Sam was going too. She spoke kindly and respectfully, and yet they still said no. Mia was furious.
