The 13-Storey Treehouse - Session 2 - Reading Comprehension answers

In the second session of "The 13-Storey Treehouse" reading comprehension, students explore various aspects of the story through targeted questions. The answers reveal that Silky the cat belongs to a character named Jill. The phrase 'lie low' is clarified to mean keeping out of sight, which is relevant to the plot as Andy lies about seeing Silky to avoid Jill's anger over the cat's disappearance. Andy's ability to discern Mr Big Nose's anger is indicated by the exaggerated size and redness of his nose. Additionally, the session touches upon the humorous struggles Andy and Terry face while working at the monkey zoo, where they are required to take over the monkeys' duties during breaks.

Students are also tasked with summarizing the session in no more than 50 words, encouraging them to distil the key points of the narrative. This exercise in brevity helps to focus on the essential elements of the story, such as character relationships, plot developments, and the unique, often comical, challenges the characters encounter within the whimsical setting of the treehouse.
