Question

same old story
1 \tgoldilocks sighed as she waited in line at the entrance to storybook land. \im so tired of the same old thing,\ she said. \first, try all three bowls of porridge, even though i know which is the best. then, sit in all three chairs, even though i know the littlest one will break and dump me on the floor. and finally, i have to pretend to sleep while i wait for the three bears to come home. i used to stay awake because they made me so nervous. now, im too bored to be afraid.\
2 \t\you think thats bad?\ little red riding hood asked. \i have to pretend i dont recognize a wolf dressed up as my grandmother. then the wolf eats me. have you ever been inside a wolf? its gross, and there certainly isnt room for both my grandmother and me!\
3 \tgoldilocks grew excited. \at least the wolf sounds interesting. that would make a nice change from my boring story.\
4 \t\youre welcome to him.\ little red riding

which detail helps explain why goldilocks wants to switch places with little red riding hood?
○ a. she is afraid when the bears come home
○ b. she is bored with doing the same thing every single day
○ c. she is tired of pretending the wolf is her grandmother
○ d. she is excited to wear a red - hooded cape

Explanation:

In the text, Goldilocks says she is “tired of the same old thing” and describes doing the same actions (trying porridge, sitting in chairs, pretending to sleep) every day. Option A is incorrect as she says she’s “too bored to be afraid” now. Option C is incorrect because pretending the wolf is her grandmother is Little Red Riding Hood’s situation, not Goldilocks’. Option D is incorrect as there’s no mention of her being excited about the cape; she wants a change from her boring routine, which is explained by option B.

Answer:

B. She is bored with doing the same thing every single day
