I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle.  He walked around, showing off his power and pride. Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree.  He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing  before him. One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion's huge paws.  Lion woke up with a start.  "How dare you wake me up! "  he shouted angrily.  Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw.  "On the second thought, I'm in the mood for the snack, and you'll make a delicious meal.", he said. Mouse cried out, "King Lion, please spare  me! If you let me live, I'll always remember your kindness.  And, some day, I might be able to help you." " How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?" That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go.  A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter's net.  The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn't escape. When Mouse heard Lion's frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed through the ropes to make a hole in the net.  Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. "Thank you for saving my life," said Lion, smiling his widest smile.  "I was mistaken.  You are not a powerless little mouse.  You are a great friend!" Question: What do you think of Mouse? Options: A: Clever and honest. B: Silly and lazy C: Humorous and stubborn D: Proud and selfish.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Space vegetables are grown from seeds   that have been taken to space and brought back to the earth. The seeds are affected by the radiation   and low gravity in space. When they are brought back to the earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger and healthier than normal vegetables. However, some people worry about eating space vegetables. They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could make us get sick because of the radiation in space. However, people should not be frightened because space vegetables are very healthy. Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables. Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully chosen. When seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that they will be safe to eat. Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. For example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. After genetically modified   food appeared in the market, people worried that they were eating unknown things. For example, if nut genes   are put inside potatoes, people allergic   to nuts might get sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. Unlike genetically modified food, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. This means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. Therefore, there are no dangers of eating something unknown. Question: According to the passage, normal tomatoes can stay fresh for about   _   days. Options: A: seven B: thirteen C: twenty D: twenty-seven
