Charlotte's Web

When Mr. Arable wanted to sell Wilbur, what did Mrs. Arable suggest Fern do?

• hide the runt pig in the hayloft until Mr. Arable forgot about him.

• call the Zuckermans because Uncle Homer sometimes raised a pig.

• train Wilbur to do a trick or two to impress Mr. Arable

• offer to use her chore money and birthday money to buy feed for Wilbur.

Why wouldn't the goose play with Wilbur?

• She didn't like how the slippery manure in the pigpen felt on her feet.

• She was sitting on her eggs, which she needed to keep toasty warm.

• She preferred to spend the beautiful summer days floating on the pond.

• She needed to stay outside the fence to keep the troublesome swallows away.

What bad news did the old sheep deliver to Wilbur?

• He was being fattened up to be butchered.

• Fern and her family were moving to another county.

• Mr. Zuckerman had purchased a huge, prizewinning male pig.

• His mother had died the day before.

The old sheep thought Templeton could help Charlotte with her web by---

• cleaning the dust off the wooden beams over the barn door

• catching bugs for her so she could spend more time spinning her webs

• bringing back magazine clippings from the dump

• decorating the webs with the bits of colored string he had in his collection

Why did Mrs. Arable pay a call on old Doctor Dorian?

• to see if the spider bite on the back of her arm was infected

• to ask advice about Fern, who was spending a lot of time in the barn

• to determine the best mix of slop to make Wilbur gain weight quickly

• to show him the strange drawings Avery had made of the farm animals

What did Mrs. Zuckerman decide to do the morning of the County Fair?

• give Wilbur a buttermilk bath

• clean the wax out of Wilbur's ears

• feed Wilbur an entire chocolate cake

• paint Wilbur's crate bright red

What was the last word Charlottle ever wrote in her web?

• WINNER

• GOLDEN

• DECENT

• HUMBLE

What revived Wilbur after he fainted in front of the crowd at the fair?

• Charlotte singing Wibur's favorite song in his ear.

• Templeton biting Wilbur's tail as hard as he could bite

• Avery slapping and pinching Wilbur's pale cheeks

• the rooster crowing from its cage beside Wilbur's head

In exchange for first choice of Wilbur's slops, Templeton agreed to---

• scare away the judges who were standing beneath Charlotte.

• give Charlotte a ride to the judge's booth at the front of the grandstand

• shake some of the dew off the HUMBLE web so bystanders could see it better

• climb up and get Charlotte's egg sac so Wilbur could take it home

What did Charlotte's babies do that made Wilbur frantic?

• They went home from the fair with Uncle, who said he knew their father.

• They formed silk balloons and sailed away on a warm updraft.

• The crawled up the leg of Avery's pants and bit Avery until he squealed.

• They spun their webs in the sheepfold instead of in the pigpen.
