1. Answer the questions. a) Why was Mr Fox very sad when he got back to his family?

These questions are based on the book 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' by Roald Dahl. Since I don't have the specific text of the chapter you are reading in front of me, I will provide the answers based on the standard plot of the story. ### 1. Answer the questions a) Mr Fox was very sad because he had lost his tail to the farmers' shovels. b) No, Mr Fox couldn't sleep because he was in a lot of pain from his wound. c) He heard the digging machines (mechanical shovels) operated by Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. d) Mrs Fox began to cry because she was terrified and overwhelmed by the danger the farmers posed to them and their children. e) The Small Fox's eyes were huge with fear because he was hungry and frightened by the sound of the digging machines above them. f) The foxes began to dig a tunnel deeper into the ground to escape the machines. g) No, they were not safe, because the farmers were digging even faster and with more machines to catch them. ### 2. Correct the statements a) Mr Fox was NOT sure that his tail would grow again (he knew it wouldn't). b) The foxes did NOT have a lot of food that night; they were actually starving. c) The foxes did NOT doze off; they were busy digging for their lives. d) Mr Fox was sure that a man could NOT dig quicker than a fox (he knew foxes were faster diggers). e) Mr Fox and his family DID manage to dig a deep tunnel (this statement is actually correct as written, but if it implies they failed, the correction is: they managed to dig a deep, safe tunnel).
