Now that you have read Frank Stockton's story, "The Lady Or the Tiger," try taking a quiz. It is a timed reading quiz based on a section of the story (a different version from the one we read in class), but words are missing. It is similar to a Celsa grammar test, but it is also similar to using context to decide the meaning of an unknown word. Where a word is missing, you have to decide which word best fits both the grammar and the meaning of the story at that point. You will have 10 minutes to complete the quiz.My suggestion: Click on the LINK below to take the quiz. Below the link is a sample--the first two questions from the quiz.
