Question

the piglets were extremely excited to... explore, though. the littlest piglet seemed aloof and removed herself from the... 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 passage: the littlest piglet "removed herself from the others" and observed them working. "Distant" means being apart or not involved, matching the piglet's behavior. "Eager" (excited, involved) is opposite, "shy" implies timidity (not directly about separation), and "satisfied" relates to contentment (not about distance). So "distant" explains "aloof".

Answer:

1. distant
