A. DIRECTIONS
1. True (with a caveat). Boiling kills most disease‑causing microbes and pouring through a filter removes particles and some contaminants, so the water would be much cleaner. However, some dissolved chemical pollutants or very small toxins may not be removed by ordinary boiling and filtering.
2. No. “Bade him stay” in this context means he ordered or told Greyson to stay. It’s an old/formal past tense of “bid” and here implies a command rather than a polite request.
3. No. A “stern talking to” is serious and strict, not light or breezy — it’s meant to correct or scold.
4. No. To fast is to abstain from eating, so Roget would be avoiding meals, the opposite of indulging in feasts.
5. True (assuming those are indeed the host’s local practices). Observing local customs means doing what the host and community do, so copying their actions—removing shoes and bowing—would be following the customs. (Note: customs vary by culture, so what’s appropriate in one place might be wrong in another.)
6. You would expect the dragon to come when called and obey your commands. “Summoned” means called forth; “heeded your every whim” means it would do whatever you asked.
B. WORD STUDY — use each word in a sentence

2. purity: The purity of the spring water made it the village’s most treasured resource.
3. impure: The lab rejected the sample because it was impure and contained foreign particles.
4. impurity: Even a trace impurity in the metal caused the entire batch to fail the strength test.
