A sight passage, read closely. Read it twice, then answer. Your score is at the bottom of the page.
He counted the tins twice. Then he moved four of them to the back of the cupboard, where the light did not reach, and closed the door quietly, the way you close a door when somebody is asleep.
Which details show that he does not want the tins found?
Why
Hiding is about where: the back of the cupboard, out of the light. He closes the door but never locks it, and he moves four of the tins, not all of them.
What does the last comparison, "the way you close a door when somebody is asleep", suggest?
Why
You close a door that way for somebody else. The care is for a person nearby, the same person he may be hiding the tins from.
Which word in the passage tells you how he closes the door?
Answer: quietly
