Fill in the blank: The narrator was surprised to see that the usually empty back benches were occupied by _________ on that day.
Answer as written by the student:
The narrator was surprised to see that the usually empty back benches were occupied by old men from the village on that day.
Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:
To answer this question, we need to fill in the blank with the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence.
-lock-
We can use information from the extract or from our own memory to find out who occupied the back benches on that day. For example, the extract says: “ Usually, when school began, there was a great bustle, which could be heard out in the street, … But now it was all so still! I had counted on … seeing old Hauser there, with his three-cornered hat, …”
This tells us that old Hauser was one of the old men from the village who came to attend the last lesson in French. Therefore, we can fill in the blank with old men from the village.
