Question

read the passage. the piglets were extremely excited to investigate the barn, explore, though. the littlest piglet seemed aloof and removed herself observing the others as they did all the work. which word from the passage helps explain the meaning of aloof?

1. eager
2. shy
3. distant
4. satisfied

Explanation:

To determine the word that explains "aloof", we analyze the context. The piglets were excited to explore, but the littlest piglet was "aloof and removed herself, observing the others". "Distant" means being apart or not involved, which matches the description of the littlest piglet not participating like the others. "Eager" is the opposite of aloof, "shy" implies timidity (not directly matching "removed"), and "satisfied" is unrelated.

Answer:

1. distant
