Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.20 Early Belief Systems and Sacred Traditions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
The novel opens with a city celebrating a new statue. Speeches proclaim “freedom” and “hope,” while street sweepers push broken glass into piles at the curb. The statue’s bronze face smiles, but pigeons already stain its shoulders. The narrator lingers on the stains longer than the speeches.
What is the narrator’s tone toward the celebration?
AHopeless and despairing without nuance
BCompletely approving and proud
CPurely amused and playful
DSkeptical, noticing flaws beneath the optimism
Solution & Explanation:The narrator’s attitude shows through connotative words and images such as 'freedom'. That language sounds most skeptical, noticing flaws beneath the optimism, making D correct.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
The narrator describes his grandfather’s hands: “map hands,” cracked with rivers of lines. He calls them “gentle” when they fix a toy, then “iron” when they grip the hospital bedrail. The shifting metaphors show love shaped by fear of loss.
What tone is conveyed toward the grandfather?
AIndifferent and bored
BMocking and dismissive
CAffectionate and reverent, with worry underneath
DPurely furious
Solution & Explanation:The narrator’s attitude shows through connotative words and images such as 'map hands,'. That language sounds most affectionate and reverent, with worry underneath, making C correct.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
In the story, a girl receives a trophy for “Most Improved.” The plaque shines, but she notices her name is misspelled. People clap anyway. She smiles, feeling gratitude and embarrassment braided together, like two threads twisted so tightly you can’t separate them.
What is the best description of the mood?
APeaceful calm
BBittersweet and awkward
CWild adventure
DFierce anger
Solution & Explanation:The imagery and word choices (for example, 'Most Improved.') create a specific feeling for the reader. Those details feel most bittersweet and awkward, so the best answer is B.
