Part 2 (Reading and Literature): Read the story below. Then, answer the questions below by encircling the letter of the best answer.
One day in the times when the sky was close to the ground, a spinster went out to pound rice. Before she
began her work, she took off the beads from around her neck and the comb from her hair, and hung them on the
sky, which at the time looked like a coral rock.
Then she began working, and each time that she raised her pestle into the air it struck the sky. For some
time she pounded the rice, and then she raised the pestle so high that it struck the sky very hard.
Immediately the sky began to rise, and it went up so far that she lost her ornaments. Never did they come
down, for the comb became the moon and the beads are the stars that are scattered about.
