Test: Dad and the Cat and the Tree- 2 - Class 7 MCQ

The correct answer is B because it directly states Dad's intention to solve the problem by himself. This is a clear assertion without implying inability or refusal.

• The dad fell down and likely got dirt on multiple parts of his body.
• His hands and toes would get dirty from contact with the ground.
• His hair, face, and dress would also pick up dirt during the fall.
• His legs could be dirty if he landed on them or if he was wearing shorts.
• Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that all mentioned areas would be affected.

The correct answer is option C, 'He brought out a high tool.' This is likely because Plan B involves using a tool, such as a ladder, which is a more practical and safer method to reach something high compared to climbing a tree or a wall.

• Option C suggests using a tool.
• A ladder is a common example of a high tool.
• Using tools is generally safer than climbing.
• Climbing trees or walls can be risky.

The question asks about Mum's reactions during an emergency. 'Natural' implies her reactions were instinctive and appropriate for the situation, making it the correct choice.

The correct answer is B because 'Landed wallop back on the deck' implies a forceful impact. This aligns with the likely consequences of Plan B Dad's actions.

Based on the given information, the correct answer is option C, 'cat.'

Dad was confident about his climbing skills, believing he could handle the situation easily. However, despite his self-assurance, he faced several mishaps:

• The tree was wobbly and tall.
• Mum warned him, saying, "For goodness' sake, don't fall!"
• After falling from the ladder into the flower bed, he brushed himself off and attempted Plan B.
• He swung onto a branch, which broke, causing him to fall again.
• Mum exclaimed, "Stop it, you'll break your neck!"

The correct answer is B, 'tall and unsteady,' which accurately describes the tree based on the given context or implied description.

The question asks for a comparison to something very easy. Winking, sleeping, and doing nothing are all simple tasks that require minimal effort. Therefore, 'All of the above' is the correct answer, as it encompasses all easy actions.

• Winking: A quick and effortless action.
• Sleeping: A natural state of rest with little to no effort required.
• Doing nothing: Requires minimal engagement or energy.

All these actions share the common trait of being straightforward and uncomplicated.

The narrator's father tries to climb the tree twice, which makes option C the correct answer.

The question asks about Dad's actions according to his plan C. Among the options provided, option A states that Dad climbed up high on the garden wall. This aligns with the description of plan C, which likely involves climbing a significant height such as a garden wall.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

• A: Dad climbed up high on the garden wall.

The narrator's father fetched the ladder from a shed.

The question tests grammar and sentence completion. The options can be evaluated as follows:

• Option A incorrectly uses 'fall' instead of the past tense 'fell,' making it grammatically incorrect.
• Option B correctly uses the past perfect tense, describing a specific action.
• Option C also incorrectly uses 'fall' instead of 'fell,' which is not correct.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

• He brushed off the dirt from his clothes.
• He confidently stated, "We'll try Plan B."
• Despite his earlier fall, he was determined to succeed.
• He attempted another plan, showing his resilience.

Ultimately, he climbed high on the garden wall and successfully leaped into the tree, landing safely.
