The Egypt Game -- Test 8

Toby shocks the girls at recess when he tells them:

• Security is lost
• He knows who wrote the answers from the Oracle
• Ken has told other kids about the Egypt Game
• He wrote the answers from the Oracle

Toby does something shocking when he calls April. What is it?

• He tells her he doesn't want to play the game.
• He tells her Ken is dropping out of the game.
• He arranges a rendezvous.
• He asks for her help.

Toby shares some disquieting news about something that happened in the alley outside the Egypt Game. What is it?

• The Professor has discovered the gang is using his yard
• Kids from school have been spying on them
• Someone follows him down the alley in the darkness
• None of these

The text states that Toby's most outstanding talent is "livening things up." This means:

• He can bring things back to life
• He makes things more exciting.
• He knows how to prevaricate
• All of these

Toby, Melanie, and April decide to make up a story about Security to make Marshall feel better. What is this story?

• Security has gone swimming in the ocean
• He has gone to visit relatives in Los Angeles
• He is going to stay at Casa Rosada with April
• None of these

Right after April reads the answer to the question of "Where is Security," she is:

• Dogged
• Inept
• Quashed

The answer to Marshall's question is:

• Look under the throne of Set
• Look under the altar of Isis
• Look in the hollow base of the statue of Diana
• None of these

As the Egypt Gang react to finding Security, Ken threatens to:

• Fink on them all
• Write a really hard question
• Resign from the game
• None of these

The kids play the Egypt Game as usual, except for one thing:

• They leave Marshall and Security at home
• They don't write any more questions for the Oracle
• Ken is no longer part of the game
• All of these

To try to explain how Security ended up under the altar of Set, the Egypt Gang think about possibilities. They discuss:

• Some other kids might have discovered the game and played a joke on them
• Someone in their own group played the trick
• The man Toby saw in the alley could be involved
• All of these
