Literary text analysis worksheet with a story about Hungry Jack and comprehension questions.

Let’s solve the “Comprehension Clues” section step by step.

We are told:
> Read each clue. Then choose the correct answer from the word bank to support your claim.

The word bank has these options:
- a very quick book
- an adventure story
- a fantasy story
- a mystery story
- a realistic fiction story

Now let’s look at each clue:

---

Clue 1:
> The story has an angry tone, a mountain setting, and a giant. What does this tell you about the story?

Think:
- “Angry tone” → emotion in the story
- “Mountain setting” → place where it happens
- “Giant” → not real in our world → makes it fantasy

So, this is likely a fantasy story.

✔ Match: “a fantasy story”

---

Clue 2:
> Another sentence that shows the story may be a fantasy is...

Look back at the story text (we can see parts of it):

> “Henry Jack was on his way home...”
> “Suddenly, the whole world just seemed so much better.”
> “He had never seen such a beautiful mountain!”
> “He said, ‘There’s a gorgeous deer!’” — wait, but then he says “Yak Happy Jack went Back.”

Wait — actually, looking more carefully at the story snippet:

It says:
> “Henry Jack was on his way home... Suddenly, the whole world just seemed so much better. He had never seen such a beautiful mountain! He said, ‘There’s a gorgeous deer!’ Yak Happy Jack went Back.”

But also earlier:
> “Riding in the car had grown irritating. He was tired of being stuck in traffic. He didn’t want his parents’ arguing. A mountain trip sounded like fun. But when they got there, Henry saw something strange — a giant standing near a spruce tree.”

Ah! There’s a giant mentioned! That’s not real → so again, fantasy.

Also, the title is “Hangry Jack” — which is a made-up word (hangry = hungry + angry) — often used in fantasy or funny stories.

And the ending: “Yak Happy Jack went Back.” — “Yak”? Maybe a typo? Or maybe it’s part of the fantasy? Either way, giants aren’t real → still fantasy.

So for Clue 2, we need another sentence that shows it’s fantasy.

Looking at the story again:

> “A mountain trip sounded like fun. But when they got there, Henry saw something strange — a giant standing near a spruce tree.”

That sentence directly mentions a giant, which is not real → proves it’s fantasy.

So the best sentence to pick is:
> “But when they got there, Henry saw something strange — a giant standing near a spruce tree.”

That’s the key evidence.

Now, what about the other clues? Wait — the worksheet only shows two clues under “Comprehension Clues”, and we’ve solved both.

But let’s double-check if there are more instructions.

Actually, looking again — the “Comprehension Clues” section has two numbered items:

1. The story has an angry tone, a mountain setting, and a giant. What does this tell you about the story? → Answer: a fantasy story

2. Another sentence that shows the story may be a fantasy is... → We pick the sentence with the giant:
> “But when they got there, Henry saw something strange — a giant standing near a spruce tree.”

That’s the supporting sentence.

---

Final check: Is there any chance it’s realistic fiction? No — because giants don’t exist in real life. Mystery? No detective or puzzle. Adventure? Maybe, but the giant makes it fantasy first. Quick book? Not relevant. So yes — fantasy is correct.

Final Answer:
1. a fantasy story
2. “But when they got there, Henry saw something strange — a giant standing near a spruce tree.”
