4. Morning Reading
July 21, 1761 ­ We have reached the Miami
villages. Chief Heart­of­Oak prepared a feast for us.
Swift­as­a­Deer was true to his word. His people are
most hospitable to guests. I am fortunate that he has
educated me as to the ways of the Miamis. To honor
his guests, the chief placed food directly into our
mouths, as one feeds an infant. This is not an
agreeable custom to Englishmen. Had I not been
advised of it, I might have offended my hosts by
showing my revulsion.

5. Morning Reading
The word hospitable means .
A ill
B warlike
C proud and strong
D kind and welcoming
When you read the paragraph, you can find an
example that tells you what hospitable means. The clue
is that the Miamis gave their visitors a feast. That clue
doesn't fit ill, warlike, or proud and strong, but if you
substitute "kind and welcoming," you see that the correct
answer is choice D.

6. Morning Reading
The word fortunate means .
A rich
B lucky
C amused
D embarrassed
To answer this question, you need to consider the
entire paragraph. The English visitor is glad that Swift­as­
a­Deer has taught him his people's customs because it
kept him from insulting them. That wouldn't make the
visitor feel rich, amused, or embarrassed, but it would
make him feel "lucky." Choice B is the correct answer.

7. Morning Reading
An infant means the same as .
A a pet
B a baby
C an enemy
D an honored guest
Understanding this word involves making a
comparison in your mind. Would you feed a pet, an
enemy, or an honored guest by placing food directly into
its mouth? The correct answer is choice B.

8. Morning Reading
Revulsion is a word that means .
A fear
B disgust
C curiosity
D confusion
If someone surprised me by putting food in my mouth,
I wouldn't be afraid, curious, or confused, but I would
certainly be disgusted! Choice B is the correct answer to
the multiple­choice question.
