Let’s go through the passage and questions step by step.
First, read the story carefully:
> At the end of the year, our class put on a play. It was called “The Princess and the Lion”. Our teacher, Miss Megan wrote it. All the children in the class acted in it. Andy was the king. Sue was the queen. Kim was the lion. He wore a lion costume. I was the princess. My costume was beautiful. I wore a long blue dress. Lots of people came to see the play. Mum, dad and my brother were there. It was a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed it. After the play, dad said “you were a beautiful princess, Alice!”
Now let’s answer each question.
