Review Ideas and Show Multiple Perspectives Practice Test

Students discuss a fable in which a character shares food with a rival.

Grace: “Sharing shows the character has grown. Earlier they were selfish, but now they choose kindness even when it’s hard.”

Malik: “I think it’s more strategic than kind. Sharing stops a fight and keeps the character safe, so it could be a smart decision.”

Ava responds: “Okay, everyone has different opinions.”

Which revision would best show Ava understands multiple perspectives rather than only acknowledging them?

A class discusses the theme of a short story where a character lies to protect a friend. The question is: “Does the story suggest loyalty is more important than honesty?”

Keisha: “The story seems to value loyalty, because the character lies to keep the friend safe and the narrator describes it as a hard but caring choice.”

Ben: “I think the story warns against lying. The lie causes new problems later, so honesty still matters even if loyalty is the reason.”

Rosa: “Maybe the theme is that both values matter, and real life choices can force you to balance them.”

After hearing Ben, Keisha says: “I hadn’t thought about how the lie creates more problems later. I still think the story shows loyalty as important, but now I see it might also be warning that loyalty doesn’t erase consequences.”

Which line best shows genuine reflection on another perspective?
