Question 1
What is the narrative purpose of including the voices of both the survivors and the legal proceedings?
Correct Answer:
It limits the perspective to one point of view
Explanation:
The main thing this question tests is how a story uses different voices to show that truth isn’t a single, simple thing. When you hear from both the survivors and the people in the legal process, you see two layers: the personal, emotional impact of what happened and the formal, argumentative way a case is examined in court. The survivors’ voices carry private grief, memory, and interpretation, while the courtroom segments demonstrate how evidence, procedure, and rhetoric shape what counts as “the truth” in a public setting. Put together, these voices reveal that truth can be contested—recalled differently, argued about, and understood from multiple angles, rather than presented as one neat, undisputed fact. That’s why the option about a single, undisputed truth isn’t the best fit—the narrative deliberately shows competing viewpoints and the tension between private experience and public accountability. It’s not about delaying resolution without meaning, either; the inclusion of these perspectives adds depth and complexity, not mere delay. And it doesn’t limit the perspective to one point of view; it broadens it by bringing together personal testimony with legal narrative.
Question 2
Significance of the title in relation to emotion and action?
Correct Answer:
It frames intense emotions (tears) with a wild impulse (tiger), highlighting tension between pain and impulsive behavior.
Explanation:
The title links deep emotion with the pull of action by pairing tears with a tiger. Tears symbolize intense feeling—sorrow, pain, vulnerability—while a tiger stands for wild, impulsive drive and raw instinct. Putting these images together signals a clash between how someone feels inside and how they might respond outwardly in moments of distress. It suggests that emotional pain can ignite impulsive, even dangerous, behavior, shaping how decisions unfold. That symbolic pairing explains the mood and direction of the piece more accurately than reading the phrase as a literal tiger, a random label, or a merely lighthearted clue.
Question 3
In what two ways does Andy think he should have been punished more severely?
Correct Answer:
The other driver should have died, or he should have been sent to jail.
Explanation:
This question targets understanding Andy’s mindset after the crash and how he perceives punishment. He’s wrestling with guilt and tries to make sense of the tragedy by imagining punishments that feel “harsh enough” to balance what happened. He thinks of two extreme options: that the other driver should have died, or that he himself should have been sent to jail. The first shows his urge to shift the moral weight onto the other person, as if that would make the situation feel fairer or absolve him of culpability in his own eyes. The second reveals a desire for a very tangible consequence—self-punishment in the form of jail time—as a kind of atonement. The other choices don’t fit this line of thinking because they describe far milder responses—paying a fine or apologizing publicly—neither of which captures the intense, justice-driven fantasies he expresses. This combination of wanting the other driver to die or wanting to go to jail highlights how Andy is processing the accident through guilt and a skewed sense of justice, rather than accepting responsibility or seeking simpler remedies.
Question 4
What theme is most evident in the material?
Correct Answer:
Racial profiling and its impact on perception
Explanation:
Racial profiling and the way race shapes how others see and judge a person’s actions is the theme most evident. The material centers on a tragic event involving a Black high school student and follows how classmates, teachers, and the media react in its aftermath. Through these reactions, you can see how stereotypes and preconceived notions color perceptions of guilt, responsibility, and intent, often more than the facts themselves. The narrative shows what people expect to happen based on race, and how those expectations guide accusations, sympathy, and decisions about accountability. The way the story is told—sometimes from different characters’ viewpoints or voices—makes it clear that a single event can be interpreted in many ways, depending on who is “seeing” it. This emphasis on bias and perception is what makes the theme stand out as the most evident. Other potential topics like environmental conservation, economic poverty, or fantasy elements aren’t the core focus of this material; instead, the emphasis is on how race influences perception, judgment, and the consequences that follow.
Question 5
Should the protagonist have admitted responsibility sooner? Why or why not?
Correct Answer:
Yes, because accountability can facilitate healing, truth, and justice, though loyalty and fear complicate decisions.
Explanation:
Taking responsibility and telling the truth after a tragedy is powerful because accountability can lead to healing, truth, and justice for everyone involved. If the protagonist admits responsibility sooner, it sets the stage for clarity about what happened, allows affected families and peers a path toward closure, and helps the community learn from the event. Loyalty to friends and fear of consequences make the decision harder, but they don’t negate the benefits of honesty and accountability; they simply complicate the timing and emotional weight of the choice. The other options imagine conditions that don’t fit the moral scenario: admission only under the fear of blame, or based on someone else’s mood or mood of a judge, which shifts the focus away from personal responsibility and the broader value of truth-telling. This question centers on what honesty can contribute to healing and justice, not on external pressures.
