Question 1 through 3 refers to the below excerpt.


 

Multiple Choice Item: 1 point value

Question Overview:This question provides an implied main idea from the passage (the idea that stalking animals requires patience) and requires you to determine which quotation provides support for this idea. You must consider not only what each quotation states directly, but also whether the quotation implies that the skill requires patience. Since all four quotations are related to stalking, you must rely on what is implied rather than on what is directly stated. This question requires both comprehension and inference skills.

Answer Rationale:

Option A is incorrect. If you selected this answer option, you likely recognize that Supeet is teaching the narrator a skill that requires focus and engagement, as Supeet will be "too busy" to do anything but stalk. This question relates to patience rather than to focus and engagement, though, and this particular quotation does not suggest that this skill requires patience.

Option B is correct. If you correctly selected this response, you likely recognize that the word "exaggerated" and the phrase "painfully slow" point to how the activity is drawn out over an extended period of time and therefore requires patience.

Option Cis incorrect. If you chose t his option, you likely understand t hat practicing with sleeping rhinoceroses requires stealth. While the need to be quiet and careful is evident, this particular quotation does not suggest that patience is also necessary.

Option D is incorrect. If you opted for this response, you likely understand that Supeet is experienced in stalking a variety of animals. While important to understanding Supeet's background, this particular quotation does not support the idea that stalking requires patience.
