Question

Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow. 10
1. While the class was circling the room, the monitor from the principal’s office brought
Miss Mason a note. Miss Mason read it several times and studied it thoughtfully for a
while. Then she clapped her hands. “Attention, class. Everyone back to their seat.” When
the shuffling of feet had stopped and the room was still and quiet, Miss Mason said, “I’
have a letter from Wanda’s father that I want to read to you.” Miss Mason stood there a
moment and the silence in the room grew tense and expectant. The teacher adjusted her
glasses slowly and deliberately. Her manner indicated that what was coming—this letter
from Wanda’s father – was a matter of great importance. Everybody listened closely as
Miss Mason read the brief note.
2. I am sure that none of the boys and girls in Room Thirteen would purposely and
deliberately hurt anyone’s feelings because his or her name happened to be a long,
unfamiliar one. I prefer to think that what was said was said in thoughtlessness. I know
that all of you feel the way I do, that this is a very unfortunate thing to have happened—
unfortunate and sad, both. And I want you all to think about it.”
3. The first period was a study period. Maddie tried to prepare her lessons, but she could not
put her mind on her work. She had a very sick feeling in the bottom of her stomach. True,
she had not enjoyed listening to Peggy ask Wanda how many dresses she had in her
closet, but she had said nothing. She had stood by silently, and that was just as bad as
what Peggy had done. Worse. She was a coward. At least Peggy hadn’t considered they
were being mean but she, Maddie, had thought they were doing, Wrong. She could put
herself in Wanda’s shoes
