Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.17 Comparative Reading Text to Text and Text to Media skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Written version: At sunrise, the brother and sister sit on the roof and retie the kite without speaking until the string finally holds. Stage version: The torn kite hangs overhead through the whole scene, gull cries play in the background, and only when the last knot is tied does the kite lift slightly on its string. Which statement offers the strongest synthesis of the two versions?

ABoth versions show that kites are difficult to repair in windy places.

BBoth versions use the kite to represent a damaged relationship being repaired, but the stage version adds sound and a visible symbol that make the fragility easier to feel.

CThe written version is about silence, while the stage version is only about birds.

DThe stage version changes the scene so the siblings never work together.

Solution & Explanation:In both versions the act of repairing the kite mirrors repairing the relationship, but the stage version intensifies that idea through the hanging kite and the soundscape.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Written version: The rescue chapter follows only Lena's thoughts as she decides whether to enter the burning shed. Film version: Instead of staying on Lena, the camera cuts to neighbors watching from the yard, clutching blankets and pointing toward the smoke. How does the film version reshape the theme?

AIt shifts the focus from individual bravery to shared witness and community responsibility.

BIt removes all danger from the rescue.

CIt proves Lena is no longer important to the story.

DIt changes the rescue into a private secret no one sees.

Solution & Explanation:By showing the neighbors' reactions, the film makes the moment about more than Lena's private decision; it becomes a scene of community concern and dependence.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Text 1: On every birthday, I wind the music box exactly once and listen until the last note fades. Text 2: Even with the drawer shut, the music box tune leaks through the room in my mind whenever I pass the hall closet. Which analytical statement best compares how the texts treat memory?

AThe first treats memory as a chosen ritual, while the second treats memory as something that returns on its own.

BBoth texts show memory as easy to erase.

CThe first treats memory as frightening, while the second treats it as humorous.

DBoth texts focus only on the cost of the music box.

Solution & Explanation:The speaker in Text 1 chooses when to remember, but the speaker in Text 2 experiences memory as an uninvited return.
