Let’s go step by step to answer both questions.
---
Question 1: What is Roay?
Look at the first sentence of the passage:
> “Mariam is 10 years old and she lives on Roay, an island in Scotland.”
This tells us clearly that
Roay is an island. It also says it’s in Scotland, so it’s not a country (Scotland is part of the UK). And it’s definitely not a person — Mariam is the person.
So the correct answer is:
→
b. an island
---
Question 2: What is the best title?
We need to pick the title that fits the whole story best.
The passage talks about:
- Where Mariam lives (on an island with no school)
- How she gets to school (takes a ferry every day)
- Who else goes with her (other kids and some adults)
- How long the trip takes and how weather affects it
It’s mostly about
how Mariam gets to school, not why she likes school (she doesn’t always enjoy the trip!), and not about schools in general in Scotland.
So the best title is:
→
C. Getting to school.
---
Final Answer:
1. b. an island
2. C. Getting to school.
