Which statement describes Hassan's behavior in the camp?

• A. He always speaks loudly.
• B. He helps others with chores.
• C. He hides from people.
• D. He doesn't talk.

Answer: (D)

This item focuses on how Hassan communicates in the camp. In the story, Hassan is depicted as a quiet presence who doesn’t engage in speaking. This silence reflects his experience and the heavy atmosphere of camp life, where fear and trauma can suppress a child’s willingness to talk. Because his behavior centers on limited or no verbal interaction, describing him as someone who doesn’t talk fits best. The other options describe actions that aren’t how he is shown—he isn’t characterized as loudly vocal, actively helping with chores, or hiding—so they don’t match the portrayal as closely.
