Question

What form did Mrs. Whatsit have before being human?

A) A star.
B) A bird.
C) A flower.
D) A dragon.

Answer 1

Mrs. Whatsit's form before being human was A) A star, as described in Madeleine L'Engle's novel 'A Wrinkle in Time'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The form that Mrs. Whatsit had before being human was A) A star. In the novel 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle, Mrs. Whatsit is revealed to have once been a star who sacrificed herself to fight the darkness. This backstory is not only a significant plot point but also relates to the larger themes of sacrifice and the battle between good and evil throughout the book. Thus, Mrs. Whatsit's previous form before assuming a human shape was not of earthly nature but rather, celestial.

Mrs. Whatsit had the form of a bird before being human. In the story, it is mentioned that she was like a timid and fluttery bird. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters also discuss the presence of a bird cage, which suggests that Mrs. Whatsit had a bird form. This is supported by the use of bird imagery in the text, such as the mention of wings.

Answer 2

Mrs. Whatsit had the form of a star before being human. Option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A) A star.

In the story mentioned in the question, Mrs. Whatsit is described as having had a different form before being human. One of the descriptions of Mrs. Whatsit compares her to a bird - "kind of like a bird herself-real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and fluttery."

However, the question specifically asks about her form before being human. The answer can be found in the same paragraph that mentions the bird comparison, it says "How she did change." This suggests that Mrs. Whatsit was not a bird prior to being human.

Another clue can be found in the answer choices provided - a star, a dragon, and a flower. Out of these options, a star is the most likely form Mrs. Whatsit had before becoming human.

So Option A is the correct answer.
