READ THE GIVEN PASSAGE Laurie had vanished round the bend, Jo was just at the turn, and Amy, far behind, striking out toward the smoother ice in the middle of the river. For a minute Jo stood still with a strange feeling in her heart, then she resolved to go on, but something held and turned her round, just in time to see Amy throw up her hands and go down, with a sudden crash of rotten ice, the splash of water, and a cry that made Jo’s heart stand still with fear. She tried to call Laurie, but her voice was gone. She tried to rush forward, but her feet seemed to have no strength in them, and for a second, she could only stand motionless, staring with a terror-stricken face at the little blue hood above the black water. Something rushed swiftly by her, and Laurie’s voice cried out, “Bring a rail. Quick, quick!” How she did it, she never knew, but for the next few minutes she worked as if possessed, blindly obeying Laurie, who was lying flat, holding Amy up till Jo dragged a rail from the fence, and together they got the child out, more frightened than hurt. “Now then, we must walk her home as fast as we can. Pile our things on her, while I get off these skates,” cried Laurie, wrapping his coat round Amy, and tugging away at the straps which never seemed so intricate before. 1. choose the correct answer : When Jo was at the turn , Laurie had ________ and Amy was ____________. * 1 point vanished round the bend,far behind disappeared, ahead gone ahead,vanished round the bend 2.

Explanation:
o was the first to wake in the gray dawn of Christmas morning. No stockings hung at the fireplace, and for a moment she felt as much disappointed as she did long ago, when her little sock fell down because it was so crammed with goodies. Then she remembered her mother’s promise, and slipping her hand under her pillow, drew out a little crimson-covered book. She knew it very well, for it was that beautiful old story of the best life ever lived, and Jo felt that it was a true guide-book for any pilgrim going the long journey. She woke Meg with a ‘Merry Christmas,’ and bade her see what was under her pillow. A green-covered book appeared, with the same picture inside, and a few words written by their mother, which made their one present very precious in their eyes. Presently Beth and Amy woke, to rummage and find their little books also,—one dove-colored, the other blue; and all sat looking at and talking about them, while the East grew rosy with the coming day.
