Question

adapted from the glass axe by andrew lang there was once upon a time a king and queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child. at last, after twelve years, the queen gave birth to a son; but she did not live long to enjoy her happiness, for on the following day she died. but before her death she called her husband to her and said,
ever let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power of a wicked fairy, who will do him much harm.\ and these were the last words of the poor queen. the boy throve and grew big, and when he was too heavy for his nurse to carry, a chair was made for him on little wheels, in which he could wander through the palace gardens without help; at other times he was carried about on a litter, and he was always carefully watched and guarded for fear he should at any time put his feet to the ground. but as this sort of life was bad for his health, the doctors ordered him horse exercise, and he soon became a first - rate rider, and used to go out for long excursions on horseback, accompanied always by his fathers stud - groom and a numerous retinue. every day he rode through the neighboring fields and woods, and always returned home in the evening safe and well. in this way many years passed, and the prince grew to manhood, and hardly anyone remembered the queens warning, though precautions were still taken, more from use and wont than for any other reason. one day the prince and his suite went out for a ride in a wood where his father sometimes held a hunt. their way led through a stream whose banks were overgrown with thick brushwood. just as the horsemen were about to ford the river, a hare, startled by the sound of the horses hoofs, started up from the grass and ran towards the thicket. the young prince pursued the little creature, and had almost overtaken it, when the girth of his saddle suddenly broke in two and he fell heavily to the ground. no sooner had his foot touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers. they sought for him far and near, and... match the paragraph number with a major detail from paragraphs 2 and 4 that could be included in a summary. the prince became an excellent horse rider. the prince vanishes suddenly while he is out for a ride in the woods. the prince finds himself seized into a new world when he touches the ground. the queen warns her husband not to let her son touch the ground. everyone takes great care and precaution to care for the prince. paragraph 4 $\to$ paragraph 2 $\to$

Explanation:

Response

To solve this, we analyze each paragraph:

Paragraph 4:

The paragraph describes the Prince going for a ride, his saddle breaking, him touching the ground, and then vanishing. So the matching detail is "The Prince vanishes suddenly while he is out for a ride in the woods."

Paragraph 2:

Paragraph 2 talks about how the Prince was cared for (carried on a chair, litter, watched carefully) to prevent him from touching the ground. So the matching detail is "Everyone takes great care and precaution to care for the Prince."

Answer:

Paragraph 4 → The Prince vanishes suddenly while he is out for a ride in the woods.
Paragraph 2 → Everyone takes great care and precaution to care for the Prince.
