Question

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai.

Each of them was also given a metal stick, with four prongs on one end.

“Fork,” the sailor said – and showed them they should use it to eat the rice.

The fishermen recited their prayer before eating. “Itadakimasu – I will humbly receive.”

Then Goemon said, “It might be poison.”

What can readers infer based on details in the excerpt?

Goemon likes new experiences.
Goemon is not afraid of his rescuers.
Goemon does not trust his rescuers.
Goemon has used a fork before.

Answer 1

C. Goemon does not trust his rescuers

Answer 2

Goemon does not trust his rescuers.

Step-by-step explanation:

There's no evidence to prove that Goemon likes new experiences, isn't afraid of his rescuers, or has used a fork before.

What it does show is that he doesn't trust them by mentioning their food might be poisonous.
