Test: Dad and the Cat and the Tree- 1 - Class 7 MCQ

The question refers to a situation where Dad, after reading a book on mountaineering, believed himself to be an expert climber. This context clarifies that his confidence stems from the book, making option B the correct choice.

The question asks for the specific time when they got stuck in the tree. Among the given options, Morning is the most plausible time for such an event to occur, as it is a common time for outdoor activities that might lead to getting stuck.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

• B, Morning

The phrase 'A climber like me' expresses a sense of self-identity, identifying oneself as a climber. This reflects how the speaker views their role or position, rather than an emotion or trait like confidence or pride.

Therefore, none of the original options correctly captured this meaning.

The question asks for a description of the tree. Below are the options analysed:

• Option A: Suggests the tree is not very tall, which contradicts the idea of it being tall.
• Option B: 'Tall and wobbly' provides a clear description combining both height and flexibility, making it the most appropriate answer.
• Option C: Describes stiffness, which doesn't necessarily relate to height or stability.

In summary, Option B is the best choice as it effectively captures both the height and the characteristic of being wobbly.

Dad's primary intention was to rescue his cat stuck in a tree. The options available are:

• Option A: Bringing the tree down - this is not practical as it poses safety risks and results in unnecessary destruction.
• Option B: Cutting the branch - this could facilitate bringing the cat down safely.
• Option C: Bringing the cat down safely - this is the main goal and the most accurate answer.

Therefore, the correct choice is C.

Reason Dad was sure he wouldn’t fall:

• He thought he was a good climber: Dad's confidence in his climbing abilities made him believe that he wouldn't fall.

The poem is humorous as it uses lighthearted language and comedic elements to convey its themes, creating an amusing tone for the reader.

The correct answer is B, as the first slip landed him in the flower bed.

The problem with the cat was that it got stuck in the tree and never wished to come down. This situation explains why it stayed there.

The correct answer is B, 'The garden shed,' because ladders are commonly stored there.

However, it's worth noting that:

• Garages are also typical storage places for ladders.
• Context may vary, affecting storage choices.
