Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo.

They all hopped on their bikes and rode off to their first exhibit, the African Region part of the zoo. There, they saw ostriches, giraffes, gorillas, and zebras. They also saw kudus, a type of antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. Preston told the group that the kudus were losing their habitat in the wild and asked if anyone knew why this was happening.

Ryan raised his hand as fast as he could and answered with certainty, "Their population is declining because of deforestation and poaching."

Read the excerpt from the story Winter Driving.

Jesper had to get home, but he wasn't too worried because he had always been a cautious driver. He told himself that he would go slowly and take his time. He didn't have to be home at a specific time, which helped. The first half of the drive went off without a hitch, no trouble at all. Although he did see one car on the side of the road, it didn't seem like they were in distress, so he kept driving along. They probably were just nervous and decided to pull over. However, Jesper wasn't nervous. He had driven in treacherous conditions before, and he knew how to handle his vehicle.

Which best describes the main character in each excerpt?

Cautious
Confident
Concerned
Creative

Answer:

I would have to say in 'Animals in the zoo' they were Concerned and in 'Winter Driving' they were Cautious.

Why?: In the story Animals in the Zoo, when it said "Preston told the group that the kudus were losing their habitat in the wild and asked if anyone knew why this was happening.

Ryan raised his hand as fast as he could and answered with certainty" he was Concerned.

In the story Winter Driving, when it said "Jesper had to get home, but he wasn't too worried because he had always been a cautious driver." Jesper was Cautious.
