Which one of the following statements is not true ?

  • A.Scarecrow was afraid that the Lion might kill him.
  • B.Lion could not eat the nuts gathered by the Scarecrow.
  • C.He decided to hunt his prey.
  • D.Dorothy felt amused at the way Scarecrow gathered the nuts.

Answer: A

The statement that is not true is 'Scarecrow was afraid that the Lion might kill him'.

The only fear the passage gives the scarecrow is of the fire: a spark might get into his straw and burn him up. The Lion is not mentioned as a danger to him.

Dorothy 'laughed heartily' at his clumsy nut-picking, so (4) is true. The Lion 'went into the forest and found his own supper', which fits (3) in its everyday meaning that he hunted for food. Statement (2) is not stated in the passage, but the nuts were gathered for Dorothy and the Lion found his own food, so the key treats only (1) as clearly contradicted.
