Reading Comprehension: Inference Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

After bursting from the egg, it becomes a large worm or caterpillar of a yellowish-white color, (which is its first state); this caterpillar feeds on the leaves of the mulberry tree, until, arriving at maturity, it winds itself up in a silken bag or case, called a cocoon, about the size and shape of a pigeon's egg, and becomes a chrysalis, in which state it lies without signs of life. In about ten days it eats its way out of its case, a perfect butterfly, which lays a number of eggs and then dies. In the warmth of the summer weather, these eggs are hatched and become worms, as their parents did at first.

What can you infer about the life of a butterfly?

It is full of danger.

It is full of drama.

It is pointless.

It is very brief.

It is peaceful and long-lasting.

Explanation:

Correct Answer: D

When discussing the life of a butterfly the author says "a perfect butterfly, which lays a number of eggs and then dies." It seems as if all a butterfly does is "lay eggs" and "then die." This suggests that it’s life is "very brief" or not very long. The author does not offer any information to suggest that it is dangerous, dramatic, pointless, or peaceful.
