Timid

Mrs. Murphy is giving her students a “surprise” history quiz today, and Jeffrey isn’t very happy about it. He has been absent for the past several days, and he’s having a lot of trouble answering the questions.
He doesn’t know who the 19th president of the United States was. He isn’t sure when the Civil War ended. He doesn’t remember when California became a state. He has forgotten where George Washington was born. He can’t remember how many people signed the Declaration of Independence. He doesn’t know where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. He has forgotten why Washington, D.C. was chosen as the capital. And he has no idea what Alexander Graham Bell invented!
Jeffrey is very upset. He’s sure he’s going to fail Mrs. Murphy’s “surprise” history quiz.
