What do you exactly mean by "passages like these"? In what terms?

Yes! It is rare to have a passage of less than 150 words but not impossible.

Answer: B

yaminih
Hey,

For the first question
1. According to the passage, what are some of the tasks associated with playing Minecraft?

(A) Killing characters who attack your compound.
(B) Crafting characters and structures, and gathering resources.
(C) Gathering resources and strategizing about how to build wealth.
(D) Surviving and cooking.
(E) Protecting against monsters and designing clothing.

The answer B is given a the correct answer, but nowhere is it mentioned that crafting characters is also one of the tasks.
About character, there is just one line,
"In addition to building and crafting, you have to defend against monsters and eventually face them head-on."

Is crafting characters inferred from this?
(A) Killing characters who attack your compound: This answer choice is not mentioned in the passage and does not align with the emphasis on creativity and learning.

(B) Crafting characters and structures, and gathering resources: This answer choice aligns with the passage's emphasis on creation, design, and gathering resources. Crafting characters and structures is a key aspect of playing Minecraft.

(C) Gathering resources and strategizing about how to build wealth: While gathering resources is mentioned in the passage, there is no mention of strategizing about building wealth.

(D) Surviving and cooking: While survival is mentioned in the passage, cooking is not specifically mentioned as a task associated with playing Minecraft.

(E) Protecting against monsters and designing clothing: While protecting against monsters is mentioned in the passage, designing clothing is not specifically mentioned.

Based on the analysis, answer choice (B) - Crafting characters and structures, and gathering resources - aligns with the tasks associated with playing Minecraft as mentioned in the passage.
