A character in this text was promised that if he got a cream puff, Number 408 would be done to him.

• A. The Giver
• B. The Call of the Wild
• C. The Great Gatsby
• D. The Wednesday Wars

Answer: (D)

This item tests your recall of a very specific moment tied to one book. The line about being promised a cream puff if he got one and Number 408 would be done to him is a distinctive moment from The Wednesday Wars. The story centers on Holling Hoodhood during seventh grade on Long Island in 1967–68, featuring quirky classroom dynamics, teacher-student promises, and memorable school-life details. Because that exact scene doesn’t appear in the other listed works—the Giver, the Call of the Wild, or the Great Gatsby—the reference points you to The Wednesday Wars. The Giver explores a controlled dystopian society, The Call of the Wild follows a dog’s survival in the Yukon, and The Great Gatsby dives into Jazz Age America; none of these hinge on a scene about a cream puff and Number 408.
