A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
Read the excerpt from the story "The Lion and the Mouse":
"The tiny mouse begged, ‘Please let me go, and I promise I will help you someday.’ The lion laughed but let the mouse run away.
Later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. The mouse heard his roar, chewed through the ropes, and set the lion free."
Now consider a short cartoon adaptation of this story. In the cartoon, the mouse squeaks, “Please let me go,” and the lion lets it escape. Later, the lion is tangled in a net, and the mouse gnaws the ropes until the lion is free.
Which of the following statements correctly describes a connection between the text and the cartoon?
