Comprehension questions for Chapter 15 How much have you understood? Remember to refer back to the text to find the answers to these questions. You can write your answers on any piece of paper at home, or discuss them with someone but your answers must be in full sentences. My answers are on the next slide. 1. What does swanky mean? 2. How far away is Valley of the Kings from the Winter Palace Hotel? 3. Find and copy one of the phrases Lil overheard people saying in the hotel lobby. 4. Why did Lil feel like collapsing? 5. Why is Lil shocked that Mr Carter and Mrs Mendoza know each other? 6. What is your first impression of Howard Carter? 7. Where do they have to stay?
Here are the answers I would give the questions set. I have written my answer in blue and my explanation of how I know think this is in green. 1. What does swanky mean? Swanky means extremely fancy and luxurious. From my own knowledge of the word. 2. How far away is Valley of the Kings from the Winter Palace Hotel? The Valley of the Kings is a few miles away from the hotel, on the other side of the river. Page 2. 3. Find and copy one of the phrases Lil overheard people saying in the hotel lobby. Lil hears three things being said in the lobby: Carter s got till the Americans start complaining , the grave-robbers took all the gold and there s something about that valley gives me the heebie-jeebies . You need to have chosen only one of them, if you have done more then you would be incorrect and not read the question properly. 4. Why did Lil feel like collapsing? Lil felt like collapsing because she received a telegram telling her that her grandad was fading, suggesting he would die soon. She would feel sad and weak, as well as pressure to return the jar quickly. Page 5 and my inference of her feelings. 5. What is your first impression of Howard Carter? I think he appears to be strong and hardworking, as well as friendly for helping them find somewhere to stay. However, Lil was told by the man on the train and Grandad not to trust him, so this may be a cover up! My thoughts and remembering events from the story. 6. Where do they have to stay? Mrs Mendoza and the children have to stay on a boat, like a barge, which is called a dahabiyeh. It was very beautiful and splendid. Page 10-11.
