Test: A Tiger in The House- 1 - Class 7 MCQ

Grandfather was part of the hunting party.

• He was a member of the group.
• It is unclear if he was the only successful one.
• His role could suggest he was proud of his participation.
• There is no indication that he was the leader.

The little tiger was:

• Fourteen inches long
• Fifteen inches long
• Sixteen inches long
• Eighteen inches long

Answer: undefined.

A change came over Timothy when he was taken to the zoo.

• This significant event marked a turning point in his life.
• His behaviour and perspective shifted dramatically.
• Being in a new environment influenced his development.

The tiger hid in:

• Mango tree: A common hiding spot due to its dense foliage.
• Banyan tree: Known for its intricate roots, providing excellent camouflage.
• Apple tree: Less likely, as it is not typical for tigers.

In summary, the most plausible hiding spots are the mango tree or among the roots of the banyan tree.

Timothy and Grandfather travelled in:

• A bus
• A first class compartment
• A train
• An executive compartment

Choose the correct spelling of the word referring to a friend or partner.

• The correct spelling is companion.
• The other options, cumpanion and campunon, are incorrect.

Timothy's preferred setting was:

• the drawing room
• the long sofa
• not the carpet

Therefore, the most suitable answer is that Timothy felt most at ease in the drawing room or on the long sofa.

The term 'darted' refers to a quick or sudden movement.

• Rushed suddenly: This captures the essence of the word, indicating speed and urgency.
• Moved: While this is a broader term, it can also apply, but lacks the specific connotation of swiftness.

In summary, 'darted' is best understood as a swift or hurried motion. Therefore, the most accurate interpretation is that it refers to someone or something that has rushed suddenly.

Timothy was transferred to the zoo because:

• He had become increasingly aggressive at home.
• His behaviour was deemed unmanageable in a domestic setting.
• The zoo provided a more suitable environment for his needs.

Finally, he allowed to rest on his back and relax there.
