Question

Pick out a word from the passage that means 'to make a surprise attack'

• A. Retreated
• B. Oblivious
• C. Ambushed
• D. Obscure

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ambushed

The word “ambushed” means to attack suddenly and unexpectedly, usually by hiding and then surprising the target.

In the line:

“Its little feelings were all ambushed.”

the writer is saying that the rabbit’s feelings were suddenly overwhelmed or attacked, without warning.

Why the others are wrong:

• Retreated → means to move back or withdraw, not attack

• Oblivious → means unaware

• Obscure → means unclear or hard to see
