HCSC The Road to Winter Ch10

"As my eyes adjust to the dark, I can make out two other figures. The one that’s been sitting on me pulls me to my feet and ties a gag around my mouth."

How many men have captured Finn?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

  ‘Name’s Finn. I’ve been living rough just the other side of the junction.’

Finn is .....

• Telling the truth.

• Lying to protect Rose and keep the location of his house a secret.

• Suffering from memory loss due to shock

• Very shy.

  ‘You haven’t been living rough, not by the look of you. You’ve had a roof over your head, I reckon. And that sleeping bag hasn’t been out in the weather, either.’

The men know he is lying because ....

• Kas has told them the truth about him.

• Rose has told them the truth about him.

• He doesn't look like someone who has been sleeping outdoors.

• They can read minds.

‘But Finn, there’s hardly any women left, you know that, yeah?’

This is because ....................

• More women than men died of the virus.

• Most women fled overseas.

• Many women are hiding underground.

• Ramage has captured them all.

‘I’ll lead him,’ Harry says. There’s a solidness about him that reminds me of Dad. He leans in and ties a rag around my head, covering my eyes.  ‘Not too tight?’ he says. Then I feel the rope around my wrists again, but in front this time. There’s a gentle tug and we’re on our way.

Based on this, Harry seems to be ..................

• The cruelest of the three men who have captured Finn.

• The kindest of the three men who have captured Finn.

• The funniest of the three men who have captured Finn.

• Ramage's brother.

 " Harry starts talking low, like he doesn’t want the others to hear."

This is an example of

• figurative language

• a flashback.

• personification.

• literal language.

Finn probably pretends that Rose is Kas's brother, because ........

• he has forgotten that Rose is a girl.

• he wishes he had a brother.

• he thinks the men are less likely to go hunting for a boy.

• he wants to form a football team.

You got family?’ 

‘Had. All dead,’ I say. ‘Dad went first, then Mum. Got no brothers or sisters.’

Here, Finn is .............

• telling the truth.

• completely lying

• remembering what happened to someone else's family.

• quoting from a song.

'We’ve been trying to keep track of time, but the seasons aren’t what they used to be. Long summers. Wild winters.’

This suggests ...........

• the virus has come back.

• war has broken out.

• Ramage has found where the men live.

• climate change.

‘I know you’re probably not telling us everything, but it pays to play your cards close to your chest these days."

This contains an example of ....................

• personification.

• a simile.

• a metaphor.

• a flashback.
