Study for the Arabian Nights test. How? By reading the "Fisherman and the Genie" and practicing with "The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad." You can find these on our web site (www.lordalford.com).
Here are the answers to "The Fifth Voyage of Sinbad":
1. a. is incorrect as it really doesn't teach us a lesson (which is what teaches us a moral means).
b. is correct, since it is only meant for us to enjoy
c. and d. are both incorrect since the story doesn't really address either of these
2. a. is correct - the guys had just started to roast the birds, so it makes since that they would make a meal out of them.
b. not too bad of an answer, but doesn't fit the roasting comment made in the sentence above it
c. nowhere does it give us a hint that they might take a nap.
d. they are doing horrible things, so good deeds is completely wrong
3. This is pure plot level. You could go back to paragraph two and find the answer, which is, of course, d.
4. a. is correct. Each answer after that gets more and more ridiculous.
5. a. is incorrect. It is a metaphor, but it uses like to make the comparison, so it is not a metaphor.
b. is incorrect - there is no reference being made to another story.
c. is incorrect - there is no play on words here.
d. is correct. It is a comparison using the word like.
6. d. is correct. Anytime you see a piece of writing in paragraph form, it will be prose.
7. We want to keep all verb tense the same, so b. is the correct answer.
8. Since Sinbad has gotten shipwrecked every time he went out, we can predict that he will get shipwrecked again in the next two stories. The correct answer is a.
9. d. is correct.
