Castañares One morning, the child woke up from his long sleep because of the hammering and banging on the veranda. He exited the bed, rubbed his eyes, and went downstairs to see where the sounds came from. As he neared the front door, he found his father squatting over a broken lawnmower. The boy was used to seeing things like this. His father was always fixing things. They could be a leaking roof or a broken appliance. He was a man of few words, or maybe he was not just interested. "Good morning, Father!", despite the noise and the early hour, Baste greeted his father pleasantly. His father gave a fleeting glance up, his look uncommunicative, before returning to his work without saying anything. Baste sighed and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. His father entered the room and wiped his hands with a rag. "Eat up and get ready for school.", his father responded casually. What event is most likely to occur next? Textual Evidence: 3 ENGLISH 5 QUARTER 1
Answer (1)
The most likely event to occur next is that Baste, feeling a bit sad about his father's lack of emotional connection, will go to school quietly, still carrying the hope that one day his father might be more expressive.Textual Evidence: The story shows that the father is emotionally distant and only casually tells Baste to eat and get ready for school. Baste already knows this behavior and doesn’t expect much. “His father gave a fleeting glance up, his look uncommunicative,” shows that this is common. This suggests that Baste will finish his routine and leave for school, with his emotions quietly kept to himself.
