Question

Read the following passage.

Everyday for three hours he rattled on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates, and then he ram

round and round the garden as fast as he could go. He was dressed in grey, and his breath was like ice. I sat at

the window and looked out at my cold white garden.

Answer the following questions.

1) Who does “he” refer to?

2) Why was he dressed grey?

3) What was his breath compared to? ​

Answer 1

Q1 Solution

He refers to the writer who wrote this story

Q2 Solution

he was dressed in gray for camouflage because when something runs very fast in air it appears white or gray and at night gray and black are the best for camouflage

Q3 Solution

his breath was compared to ice because when we inhale we inhale warm air but we exhale cold air and when we run our lungs have to work faster so our breath is way colder than usual
