Question

kane the kid
by alice winters
after returning home from a long evening at marching band practice, kane was anxious to get some rest. he was beginning to disbelieve the bands motto: \music is the soul of the game.\ week after week, football fans ignored the half - time performance that they worked hard to perfect.
after he warned his little brother not to touch his drum, kane fell into a deep sleep.
boom! boom! tick! boom! boom! tick!
what is that noise? kane said to himself, sitting up. he was just about to get up and find his brother when he realized his bed had disappeared. instead of feeling his soft bed sheets, his hand rubbed across hard dirt.
he leaped to his feet just in time to see a marching band dressed in disheveled overalls and cowboy boots coming up a hill. a covered wagon from the pages of kanes history book rolled up the dirt road. as kane tried to discover where he was and why he was there, the wagon driver pulled the reigns and yelled, \whoa!\
the bearded, jolly - looking driver motioned for the band to climb in back of the wagon. \whatcha doing out here,
when kane sees his little brother playing his drum, the reader can infer that
a. kane is teaching his brother to play the drums.
b. kanes little brother is a great drum player.
c. kane has just woken up from a dream.

• Option B: There is no information in the text to suggest that Kane's little brother is a great drum player.
• Option C: The text says "Kane fell into a deep sleep" and then "What is that noise? Kane said to himself, sitting up. He was just about to get up and find his brother when he realized his bed had disappeared". This implies that Kane has just woken up from a dream.
• Option D: There is no mention in the text that Kane's little brother is with him in old Littleview.
