So that gave Brother an idea for a stunt and he jumped up and claimed he could jump from one step to the other ( it was probably a meter between the two ) . I was very doubtful of said stunt but encourage none the less . So he lined himself up and leaped with grace and with arms flailing to show his theatrical - ness but then got his footing all wrong and ended up tripping his landing as his foot slid off the step and he went flying onto the ( empty ) road . OPTIONS:
- Someone who likes to show restraint .
- Someone who likes to show off .
- None of the above choices .
- Someone who often shows fear .

A: What type of person is my brother ?

The system needs to change , in my opinion . The most frustrating part for me when teaching at a high school is seeing how many kids have figured out the system . From kindergarten through 8th grade these kids have realized no one is going to hold them back a grade if they do n't perform . The reasons for this are many , but ultimately I look at my students ' report cards from over the years and see strings of ' F ' grades , low reading levels , too many years in ELL programs , and absence issues already . OPTIONS:
- More reliance on ELL classes , as they have proven to be effective
- Less criticism of lower reading levels , as reading is only so important
- None of the above choices .
- Early intervention for attendance issues , and assigning tutors for reading difficulties

A: What is a way that the speaker may suggest addressing these problems with the system ?

I quickly closed the basement door , and for the first time I felt safe in that house ! ! As I was finishing the job , the owner called me to see how it was going . I explained to her that I was just finishing up the job , but that I had a problem with her cat , so I closed it into the basement ! ! She then explained to me that the cat is that way with everyone ! ! OPTIONS:
- They were going to clean the floor .
- The cat kept attacking her .
- They do n't like cats at all .
- Cats in general scare them .

A:
What may be the reason for them locking the cat in the basement ?
