Two Stories about Flying MCQ questions with answers

The first 3 of 30 questions. Unlock the series for the rest, each with a solution.

  1. Q1. Consider the endings of the two stories. In one, the hero is surrounded by his joyful family; in the other, the hero is left with an unanswered question. Which statement correctly contrasts the two endings?

    • A. Both stories end with the hero thanking the person who helped him
    • B. The seagull's story ends with family joy and praise, while the narrator's ends with the pilot's identity left an unsolved mystery
    • C. Both stories end in complete mystery with nothing resolved
    • D. The seagull's story ends in mystery, while the narrator's ends with his family praising him
    Solution

    The seagull's story ends happily with his family praising him, while the narrator's story ends in mystery because the identity of the black aeroplane's pilot is never explained.

  2. Q2. A reader claims: 'Both 'His First Flight' and 'The Black Aeroplane' are told by a first-person narrator who speaks as "I".' How accurate is this claim?

    • A. Partly correct — only 'His First Flight' uses a first-person 'I' narrator
    • B. Fully correct — both use a first-person 'I' narrator
    • C. Partly correct — only 'The Black Aeroplane' uses a first-person 'I' narrator
    • D. Fully wrong — neither story uses a first-person narrator
    Solution

    'The Black Aeroplane' is told by a first-person narrator-pilot, but 'His First Flight' is told in the third person about the young seagull. So only the second story uses 'I'.

  3. Q3. Inside the storm in 'The Black Aeroplane', the narrator becomes 'lost'. Which combination of failures best explains why he could neither find his way nor call for help?

    • A. His engine stopped and his wings iced over
    • B. His compass, radio and other instruments stopped working and his fuel was low
    • C. His radar failed and a wing caught fire
    • D. His map blew away and the cabin lights went out
    Solution

    In the black clouds his compass, radio and other instruments all stopped working, so he could not navigate or contact anyone, and his fuel was low.
