Island of the Blue Dolphin for GATE
I felt my GATE students needed more in depth and complexity reading comprehension short answer responses. So I varied my other product I purchased and added to it.
The responses were so high level that I displayed it for my open house. Most of these questions are subjective and can be easily supported with evidence from the text. Good luck!
FYI, There is one question that includes the book, The Great Horn Spoon. You can ignore this one, if you haven't read the story.)
