COMPREHENSION

A.

1. BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SELL THE MARE ONLY IN THE MARKET, BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE A
CHOICE OF MANY OFFERS.

2. EVERYONE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO FINER BEAST IN THE TOWN BUT NO ONE OFFERED TO
BUY. AND SO THE STRANGER APPEARED NEAR THE THIEVES HOLE.

3. IN THE CAVE THE FARMER SAW A HUNDRED AND FORTY KNIGHTS IN SILVER ARMOUR, AND BY
THE SIDE OF ALL BUT ONE A MILK-WHITE MARE.

4. THE WIZARD TOLD THE FARMER TO TAKE WHAT HE COULD CARRY IN PAYMENT FOR THE HORSE.

5. THE SLEEPING KNIGHTS WOULD ONE DAY AWAKE AND COME OUT OF THE CAVE, WHEN
ENGLAND IS IN DANGER AND THEY HAVE TO GO AND FIGHT FOR IT AND ELIMINATE ITS ENEMY.

B.

1.a. THE FARMER WANTED A RICH MAN TO PAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR HIS MARE, AND IT WAS
HIS WISH FOR THIS TO HAPEN.

b. HE WAS FANTASIZING ABOUT THE TOWN WHEN HE DIDNT EVEN GET OUT OF ALDERLEY.

c. THE HORSE WOULDNT ANSWER TO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS STILL.

d. THE WIZARD SAID THIS TO THE FARMER SO HE COULD RAISE AND TRUST HIM THAT HIS
PAYMENT WOULD BE PAID, AND THAT THE WIZARD WOULDNT HURT HIM.

e. WHEN ENGLAND SHALL BE IN EXTREME DANGER.

2. THE HORSE WANTED THE WIZARD TO SPARE HIS LIFE.

3. THE WRITER USES SOME NEXUS AS: AT THIS, FOR SUCH HE WAS. AND HE ALSO USES THE
PASSIVE VOICE TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING.
