Question

Bullying
It was Friday and Egbert was angry. He was angry at his parents. Why didn't they name him something else?
He was angry at himself for being a chicken when the other kids teased him. He decided the next time anyone made fun of his name, he would punch them.
It didn't take long. At lunch on Monday, it started again. Two boys walked by and one of them called him "Egg Salad". Then the other one said, "If I had a name like Egbert, I'd change it". He was mad, but he was scared because they were both older and bigger.
When the second boy said "What's your mother's name? Chickenbert?" Egbert totally lost his temper. He jumped up and hit the boy and knocked him down.
Both of the children were surprised. Then a teacher came over and took Egbert to the principal's office.
He had to stay after school because the principal didn't think calling someone a name was reason to hit them. But that was only the beginning of his trouble. He missed the bus and had to walk home alone. The two boys he had fought were waiting for him outside school. Now Egbert was really scared and started to run as fast as he could.

Questão): Are these sentences True or False? Correct the false ones.
1. Egbert was bullied in school because of his name.
2. He hated it
3. He hit one of the boys

Answer 1

1) True

O texto deixa claro que ela já foi zoado por causa do nome. Repare: ''...the next time anyone made fun of his name...'', ou seja, a próxima vez que alguém o zoasse por causa do nome... Ora, se há próxima vez, então houve uma primeira vez, certo?

2) True

Também fica claro que ele não gostou muito disso. O texto deixa bem clara essa ideia usando a palavra ''angry'' várias vezes e, depois, a palavra ''mad''.

3) True

Ele não só bateu em um dos garotos como chegou a nocauteá-lo também. Repare: ''He jumped up and hit the boy and knocked him down.''
