Question

"That's fresh air," she [Mary] said. "Lie on your back and draw in long breaths of it. That's what Dickon does when he's lying on the moor. He says he feels it in his veins and it makes him strong and he feels as if he could live for ever and ever. Breathe it and breathe it." Which best identifies the event that is foreshadowed in this passage? Question 1 options: A dramatic improvement in Colin's health The arrival of spring Colin's ability to live forever The growing friendship between Mary and Colin

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. A dramatic improvement in Colin's health. I took the test and this was the correct answer.

Answer 2

The event that is foreshadowed is the dramatic improvement in Colin's health.

Like Mary before him, Colin's health will be improved by his exposure to the outdoors, the sun and fresh air, and the Secret Garden. Eventually, he will no longer need his wheelchair and, with the arrival of spring, he will walk again through the garden.
