2. Why was Queen Vashti dismissed from her position?
* Answer: a. She refused to display her beauty at the king's feast.

3. Which of the following describes Haman's feelings towards Mordecai?
* Answer: c. Hatred and desire for revenge

4. What was the significant risk Esther took for her people?
* Answer: a. She revealed her Jewish identity to the king.
* *Reasoning:* There was a law that anyone who approached the king without being summoned could be put to death. Esther risked her life by going to the king to reveal that she was Jewish and to ask him to save her people from Haman’s plot.
5. Who said, “For if you remain silent at this time... And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

* Answer: c. They celebrated with a feast, which became the festival of Purim.
* *Reasoning:* After they were saved from their enemies, the Jews held a big celebration with feasting and joy. This celebration is remembered every year as the holiday of Purim.
8. What did Esther request the Jews to do before she approached the king about Haman's plot?
