Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #3074 Doctor
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
However, Jan seemed to be getting worse instead of recovering. By evening, she was running a high fever and in greater pain. In spite of his best efforts, Bob could not manage to ease her suffering. And then suddenly, she started to lapse into unconsciousness. It was then obvious that she was seriously ill. He had no experience in treating the sick and Jan was getting worse by the minute. He knew that there was an old doctor in town but he lived three miles away, downhill. Pot-bellied and obese, there was no way the doctor could make it up to their cabin.

Option 1: "Three miles away, down the hill."

Explanation: The text clearly states that the doctor lived three miles away, downhill. This directly answers the question about the doctor's location, aligning perfectly with the information provided in the text.

Option 2: "Two miles away, on the hill."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifies that the doctor lived three miles away, not two. Additionally, the phrase 'on the hill' contradicts the text, which states he lived downhill.

Option 3: "Three miles away, near the hill."

Explanation: While this option correctly states the distance of three miles, it incorrectly uses 'near the hill.' The text specifies that the doctor lived downhill, not near the hill, making this option misleading.

Option 4: "Two miles away, near the town."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as it states the doctor lived two miles away, which is not supported by the text. Furthermore, 'near the town' does not accurately reflect the information given, which indicates the doctor lived three miles away, downhill.
