Practice 3:

The OctopusNow it's your turn!

Using, "The Octopus" as the reading selection, answer this question. Remember it is linked to the book icon on the right.

Item 3:

Suppose a deep-sea diver comes upon an octopus and frightens it.

What is the octopus likely to do first?

First let's really look at the wording in the question. These are key words:

  • suppose - this tells you that you are not going to find the exact information about a deep-sea diver in the text - you must imagine, or infer, the diver, based on the information in the selection,
  • deep-sea diver (a person not expected in the octopus' environment),
  • frightens octopus,
  • octopus LIKELY to do FIRST?
