I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: For three days Mr Bunter did not say a word. He looked at people sensibly enough but seemed unable to hear any questions put to him. An officer remarked to the captain, "Those brass plates on the steps of the bridge-ladder are very dangerous things. " "Are they?" replied Captain Johns, "It takes more than a brass plate to make an able-bodied man fall down in that way. And the weather fine, everything dry, and the ship going on a smooth sea!" On the fourth day, the chief officer looked better. He could hear and understand and could even speak in a weak voice. "Well, Mr Bunter," said Captain Johns, "Can you tell us what caused the accident!" Bunter moved his head slightly and fixed his cold blue stare on the Captain's eyes and said in a whisper, "You--were--right!" "Bless my soul!" cried out Captain Johns, "Do you mean you had a supernatural experience that night? You saw a ghost on my ship?" Unwillingness, shame, disgust would have been seen on poor Bunter's face if a good part of it had not been wrapped in bandage . He tried hard and answered, "Yes, I have seen." "And did it --did it knock you down from the ladder?" "Come! Am I the sort of man to be knocked down by a ghost?" Captain Johns pointed a finger at Bunter. "You've been terrified, " he said , "That's what's the matter, even the man at the wheel was frightened, though he couldn't see anything. He felt the supernatural. You've been punished because you wouldn't believe, Mr Bunter. " "Suppose I have, " said Bunter, "You don't know what I saw. And I can't tell you what it was like. Every man has his own ghosts. I stepped back. I don't remember anything else. " "The man at the wheel said you went backwards as if something had hit you." "It was a sort of inward blow, " Bunter explained, "Aren't you satisfied now that I believe?" Question: Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? Options: A: Bunter could have seen a ghost. B: The captain tended to believe that Bunter had fallen as a supernatural punishment for his disbelief. C: Bunter was ashamed of admitting he had seen a ghost. D: Bunter and the captain could have been good friends.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: One morning, teachers arrived to find the little country schoolhouse swallowed in flames. They dragged an unconscious little boy, who went to start the fire in the old-fashioned coal stove to heat, out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die -- which was for the best, really -- for the terrible fire had ruined the lower half of his body. But the brave boy didn't want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the deadly danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body, it would almost be better if he had died, since he was doomed to be in a wheelchair all lifetime with no use at all of his lower limbs . Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be a disabled man. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, all but lifeless. Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever. When he wasn't in bed, he was confined to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him. He worked his way to the white fence bordering their lot. With great effort, he raised himself up on the fence. Then he began dragging himself along the fence,resolved that he would walk. He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside... Question: Which cannot be inferred from the passage? Options: A: Glenn didn't catch what the doctor told his mother so he didn't worry about his burns. B: Glenn decided to survive though his lower part of body had lost the sense of feeling.
