Hunger Games Chapter 8 Quiz

Which two pieces of evidence support the claim that Panem is a fascist society where people are severely punished all the time? (RL3)

• At first, I expect guards to come for me. But as time passes, it seems less likely. I calm down.
• What will they do to me now? Arrest me? Execute me? Cut my tongue and turn me into an Avox so I can wait on the future tributes of Panem?
• When Effie taps on the door to call me to dinner, I decide I may as well go. …It’s not like I can hide what happened forever.
• “Well, it serves them right. It’s their job to pay attention to you. And just because you come from District Twelve is no excuse to ignore you.”
• “What about my family?” I say. “Will they punish them?”

Why does the author choose to include a passage about the relationship between Katniss and Gale right before the cliffhanger that Peeta has chosen to train alone? (RL6)

• To show how Kaniss is starting to trust Peeta and, therefore, make the news of his training alone that much more painful.
• To show how Katniss prefers Gale to Peeta and, thus, make the news of his training alone less harsh.
• To show how sad Katniss is in this moment and, subsequently, how alone Peeta’s training makes her feel.

Which piece of evidence best supports the answer in the above question? (RL1)

• Gale gave me a sense of security I’d lacked since my father’s death.
• Peeta and I congratulate each other, another awkward moment.
• I can’t help comparing what I have with Gale to what I’m pretending to have with Peeta.

“The stress of the day, particularly the crying, has worn me out. I drift off, reprieved, relieved, and with the number eleven still flashing behind my eyelids.” What does “reprieved” mean as it is used in the above sentence? (RL4)

• Relaxed
• Free of blame
• Accused
• Given permission

Which piece of evidence best supports the claim that Katniss does, in fact, trust Peeta, even though her logic tells her not to? (RL3)

• That makes me feel a bit better. It’s not like Peeta attacked the Gamemakers, but at least he was provoked, too.
• “I hope that’s how people interpret the four I’ll probably get,” says Peeta.
• The adults begin some chit chat about the weather forecast, and I let my eyes meet Peeta’s. He raises his eyebrows. A question. What happened?
• Peeta pulls an eight so at least a couple of the Gamemakers must have been watching him.
