“I’ve been summoned to an extraordinary meeting of the council. Something must have happened.” The good story he had been in the middle of telling us was to remain unfinished. “I’m going there,” he went on. “I shall be back as soon as I can. I’ll tell you all about it. Wait for me.” We were prepared to wait for some hours. The backyard became like the hall outside an operating room. (10) In the paragraphs above, Elie Wiesel uses a simile that suggests -

Many people are nervously pacing in the backyard for news.

Elie’s father is an accomplished storyteller.

Elie’s father is a prominent community member.

Many people are expecting Elie’s father to return with good news.

In the beginning of the book, how does Elie differ from his father?

Elie is spiritual while his father is practical.

Elie is social while his father is unfriendly.

Elie is religious while his father is pious.

Elie is sensible while his father is scholarly.

Which line from the selection provides the best evidence that the Jews of Sighet are optimistic despite Hitler’s plan of extermination?

The Germans were already in the town, the Fascists were already in power, the verdict had already been pronounced, yet the Jews of Sighet continued to smile.

At that time is was still possible to obtain emigration permits for Palestine.

We were no longer allowed to go into restaurants or cafes, to travel on the railway, to attend synagogue, to go out into the street after six o’clock.

Read the following Excerpt from the novel Night: I looked at our house, where I had spent so many years in my search for God; in fasting in order to hasten the coming of the Messiah; in imagining what my life would be like. Yet I felt little sorrow. I thought of nothing. (15) What does the quotation suggest about the religious conflict facing Elie at the moment?

Elie is uncertain of God’s role in his life moving forward.

God is always there, and Elie has not lost his faith.

The eyes of God are always upon him and that makes him nervous.

He is fighting what he perceives to be Satan.

Read the following excerpt from the novel Night: The synagogue was like a huge station: luggage and tears. The altar was broken, the hangings torn down, the walls bare. There were so many of us that we could scarcely breathe. We spent a horrible twenty-four hours there…Since no one could get out, people were relieving themselves in a corner. (17) From this description of the synagogue, the reader can infer that -

The Nazis are attempting to shame and dehumanize the Jews.

Elie ceased to see the value in being Jewish.

The Nazis are attempting to destroy the Jewish faith.

Elie’s idea of God has changed from devout to atheistic which leads to his loss of faith.

Which line from the novel best foreshadows the motif of loss of faith?

Household treasures, valuable carpets, silver candelabra, prayer books, Bibles, and other religious articles littered the ground beneath a wonderful blue sky; pathetic objects which looked as though they had never belonged to anyone. (12)

The Jewish police from the ghetto were able to go and fill a few jugs secretly. Since my sisters and I were destined for the last convoy and we were able to still move about, we helped them as well as we could. (13)

After Elie’s doctor operated on his foot, Elie said, they put me in a bed with white sheets. I had forgotten that people slept in sheets. (57) The author includes this information in order to -

emphasize the systematic dehumanization of the Jews.

illustrate the unsanitary conditions of the hospital.

show the generosity of the Nazis.

show that Elie cannot remember things clearly.

“Look, take this knife,” he said to me.”‘I don’t need it any longer. It might be useful to you. And take this spoon as well. Don’t sell them. Quickly! Go on. Take what I am giving you!” The inheritance. “Don’t talk like that, Father.” (55) The words “the inheritance” in the selection imply that -

Elie’s father believes he is going to die.

Elie is giving up on his father.

Elie’s father is giving him meaningless items.

Elie is disappointed in his father’s gift.

In the morning, the face of the camp had changed. Prisoners appeared in strange outfits: it was like a masquerade. Everyone had put on several garments, one on top of the other, in order to keep out the cold. Poor mountebanks, wider than they were tall, more dead than alive; poor clowns, their ghostlike faces emerging from piles of prison clothes! Buffoons! (61) The primary purpose of the text above is to -

show how absurd the prisoners looked.

have the reader pity the prisoners.

show that the Nazis gave the prisoners enough clothes to keep warm.

Which of these illustrates irony?

A caption: Warning. Danger of death. Mockery: was there a single place here where you were not in danger of death? (30)

Comrades, you’re in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. There’s a long road of suffering ahead of you. (31)

All right, son. When you feel better, come back and see me. (39)

Fool, listen to what I say. (22)

I dragged myself to my corner. I ached all over. I felt a cool hand wiping my blood-stained forehead. It was the French girl. She gave me her mournful smile and slipped a bit of bread into my hand. She looked into my eyes. I felt that she wanted to say something but was choked by fear. (39) The primary purpose of the text above is to -

show the limited medical attention available

Then, as if he had suddenly woken up from a heavy doze, he dealt my father such a clout that he fell to the ground, crawling back on all fours. I did not move. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, before my very eyes, and I had not flickered an eyelid. I had looked on and said nothing. Yesterday, I should have sunk my nails into the criminal’s flesh. (29) From the passage above, the reader can infer that a change has happened to Elie. What is that change?

His drive for self-preservation has taken over.

There is no change. Elie feels his dad deserves this treatment.

Elie is glad his dad is getting beaten up instead of him.

Elie wishes he were the one beating his father.

1. Stretched out by the cauldron, he was now trying to raise himself up to the edge. Either from weakness or fear he stayed there, trying, no doubt, to muster up the last of his strength. At last he succeeded in hoisting himself onto the edge of the pot. For a moment, he seemed to be looking at himself, seeking his ghostlike reflection in the soup. Then, for no apparent reason, he let out a terrible cry, a rattle such as I had never heard before and his mouth open thrust his head toward the still steaming liquid. We jumped at the explosion. Falling back onto the ground, his face stained with soup, he writhed for a few seconds at the foot of the cauldron, then he moved no more. (44) Which of the following is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn about the inmate who had dared to crawl toward the two deserted cauldrons of soup during the air raid?

It reveals his desperate hunger.

He burned himself on the side of the cauldron.

He knew the inmates would be jealous of his extra ration.

It reveals his strong will power.

1. What is the purpose of juxtaposing (laying side by side for comparison purposes) the two passages? One day when we had stopped, a workman took a piece of bread out of his bag and threw it into a wagon. There was a stampede. Dozens of starving men fought each other to the death for a few crumbs. The German workmen took a lively interest in this spectacle. Some years later, I watched the same kind of scene at Aden. The passengers on our boat were amusing themselves by throwing coins to the “natives,” who were diving in to get them. An attractive, aristocratic Parisienne was deriving special pleasure from the game. I suddenly noticed that two children were engaged in a death struggle, trying to strangle each other. I turned to the lady. “Please,” I begged, “don’t throw any more money in!” “Why not?” she said. “I like to give charity…” (73)

to show lack of empathy may inspire cruelty

to show war brings out the worst in others
