Answer 1

Do you know what ill means?

Answer 2

ill means that said person is feeling poorly. Which one of the answers do you see that suggests the child feels poorly. ?

Answer 3

B.

Answer 4

why couldn't it be A....purplechicken ?

Answer 5

you know, now that you say that, i read it over and yes it would be a OR b. i would just say B though.

Answer 6

But yes, A would work too.

Answer 7

thats what I think....I think they both will work and I don't know which makes the sentence more effective.

Answer 8

What is the meaning of effective in this case though? If you were simply talking to some one then it would probably be B. But if you an English teacher then you might say A. But i personally would say B.

Answer 9

I would probably say B as well....who says " feeling poorly " I usually just say " he's sick". IDK.

Answer 10

Ikr.

Answer 11

Does feeling poorly necessarily mean sick ?

Answer 12

well if you're sick then it either means you just puked or you are running a fever. so actually i would have to be B because he got ill (puked).

Answer 13

feeling poorly could also mean something emotionally bad happened, that doesn't mean the person was ill. Right ?

Answer 14

EXACTLY.

Answer 15

So, I would choose answer B.

Answer 16

Yes. B is the correct answer.

Answer 17

Yes we do.

Answer 19

@kelliegirl33 @purplechicken think in the eyes of an english teacher.

Answer 20

The response would still be B

Answer 21

ill also means sick

Answer 22

feeling poorly....hmm...sounds more sophisticated...do you know what I mean ?
Does feeling poorly necessarily mean sick ?

Answer 23

It does sometimes.

Answer 24

But sometimes it doesn't. Right ?

Answer 25

I would still go with B. That is just my opinion.

Answer 26

Same here.

Answer 27

I would grade correctly for A.

Answer 28

Ok then.

Answer 29

unheard might be correct. Think like an English teacher.....I am not sure now...A or B.....hmm....I just don't know.

Answer 30

It's prob. A. But if i was just talking to someone then i would say b
