Question 1

In paragraph 1, Chelsea refers to puppies as ‘fur balls’ (line 3),

and that they like to ‘eat, play and sleep’ (lines 3 & 4).

Contents
Question 2

The best definition is ‘to give somebody a lot of something’

because ‘shower’ is followed by ‘love and kisses’ in line 6. We
can deduce that this means people like giving puppies lots of
love and kisses.

Contents
Question 3

The answer is ‘Chelsea’s puppy’ or ‘the pupzilla’ because

Chelsea has been talking about puppies in the entire first
paragraph and ‘at home’ (line 7) suggests that she is talking
about her puppy specifically.

people.

Question 5

In lines 17 and 18, Chelsea said that her puppy ‘snatched one of
them by the shoelace and ripped my shoe into pieces’. This
means the puppy ‘damaged’ or ‘destroyed’ her trainers.

Contents
Question 6

In lines 19 and 20, Chelsea said that the puppy ‘didn’t look
sorry at all’ even after being scolded by her mum. She also said
that it was ‘grinning from ear to ear’ (line 23), meaning that it
was smiling widely, and that it looked ‘so smug’ (line 23),
suggesting that it felt happy or pleased about what it did.

To be ‘sympathetic’ towards somebody means that you understand and

Question 8

‘My dog ate my homework’ is an overused expression used by

students from western countries as an excuse for not handing in
their homework on time.

Contents
Question 9

Chelsea referred to her puppy as the ‘pupzilla’ in paragraph 1,

but that is not the real name of the puppy because it should be
capitalized. Its name is found in paragraph 4, when Chelsea
talked about how her parents praised the puppy, ‘All they talk
about is how adorable “Smoochie” is.’

Question 11

In the last line of paragraph 5, Chelsea said, ‘stay tuned for “Freeing
the pooch slaves” in the next chapter’. The phrase ‘stay tuned’ means
to keep watching, reading or listening for the next update. The ‘pooch
slaves’ in the title of the next chapter refers to her parents. The word
‘pooch’ is a slang word for ‘dog’ and the word ‘slaves’ imply that they
are under the puppy’s control. Therefore, Chelsea will probably write
about how she will get back her parents’ attention from the puppy.
