Omar faced teasing for something he did at home. Which was it?

• A. Attending a private school
• B. Doing chores at his home
• C. Fetching water for the school
• D. Learning English

Answer: (B)

Doing chores at home is what Omar did that drew teasing. In the story, he steps into responsibilities at home—like cleaning, cooking, looking after siblings—an expectation placed on him in a challenging environment. Peers often tease when they see someone taking on such adult tasks, especially if they associate those tasks with hardship or with roles that don’t fit their own idea of what a boy his age should be doing. The teasing highlights social pressures around gender roles and labor in that setting, making this action the trigger for the mockery. The other options don’t match the moment described as the source of teasing, since attending a private school, fetching water for the school, or learning English aren’t presented as the behavior that provoked the teasing in this context.
