Question

Passage- I He walked several miles that day but could not get anything to eat or drink except some dry bread and some water, which he got from cottagers and farmers. As night fell, he slept under a haystack lying in a meadow. He felt frightened at first, for the wind blew awfully over the empty fields. He felt cold and hungry, and was feeling more lonely than he had ever felt before. He however, soon fell asleep, being much tired with his long walk. When he got up next day, he was feeling terribly hungry so he purchased a loaf of bread with a few coins that he had.

When the night fell, he slept

Accepted Answer

The passage states, "As night fell, he slept under a haystack lying in a meadow." A haystack is a large pile of dry grass or hay.

Option A is incorrect because while a haystack is in a field, the specific sleeping place mentioned is "under a haystack," which is more precise than just "in the open field."
Option B is correct because "under a pile of dry grass" accurately describes sleeping under a haystack. Hay is dried grass.
Option C is incorrect as the passage clearly states he slept under a haystack, not in a farmer's cottage. He got food from cottagers and farmers, but did not sleep in their homes.
Option D is incorrect because the passage specifies "under a haystack," not "under a tree."
