| 90% | Extract-based comprehension (RTC) from the prose — Answer in the story's own words first, then add one inference line about Wanda's feelings or Maddie's guilt. Watch for a vocabulary MCQ ('which word means ...?'). | 5 MARKS |
| 65% | What kind of girl was Wanda? / Why did she claim a hundred dresses? — Name 3 traits with one textual proof each; stress that she owned ONE dress and the hundred were drawings/imagination — a shield of dignity, not lies. | 6 MARKS |
| 60% | Why did Maddie not stop Peggy? / Maddie's inner conflict — Give BOTH reasons (Peggy is her best/most popular friend AND Maddie is poor, fears being teased next). Name it as a conflict of conscience vs fear. | 4 MARKS |
| 55% | Value-based: bullying / prejudice / how we treat others — Name the value (empathy/kindness/courage), prove with Wanda's teasing + Maddie's guilt, add a personal lesson line about not being a silent bystander. | 5 MARKS |
| 45% | Describe the 'hundred dresses game' / Peggy's character — Explain Peggy stopping Wanda and asking mock-politely how many dresses she had; note Peggy is thoughtless not evil, and Maddie merely follows. | 3 MARKS |
