Hola, again! Back for more GED reading? I got a good GED practice question, from a book by John Steinbeck. I like this book. It’s short, easy to read, and it’s set in Mexico, which makes me relate to it more. So I thought I’d do a practice question from it.

From The Pearl, by John Steinbeck.

Kino awakened in the near dark. The stars still shone and the day had drawn only a pale wash of light in the lower sky to the east. The roosters had been crowing for some time, and the early pigs were already beginning their ceaseless turning of twigs and bits of wood to see whether anything to eat had been overlooked.

Where does Kino live?

A)  In a city

B)  On a farm

C)  In a small town

D)  On a boat

E)  In the forest

The text doesn’t really say where he lives, but it gives some clues. So you have to use the clues to infer where he lives. He wakes up, and he hears roosters crowing and pigs looking around for food. So, where would there be roosters and pigs? If you look at it that way, the answer’s easy… B, on a farm. See, sometimes the questions are simple, if you look at them pretty straightforward.

Good GED studying!
