Which book includes drought that dries a family's well?

• A. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
• B. The Giver by Lois Lowry
• C. Two Degrees by Alan Gratz
• D. Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls

Answer: (C)

Drought and water scarcity as a consequence of climate change is the concept this item uses to test your understanding of how environmental issues affect families. In Two Degrees, Alan Gratz follows several families facing climate-driven crises, including a drought that dries a family’s well. This situation shows how a changing climate can directly impact daily life—reach for clean water, plan meals, and make tough decisions—making the drought a central, relatable challenge for the characters. The other books don’t center on a family dealing with a drying well. Hatchet is about one boy surviving after a plane crash in the wilderness; The Giver explores a controlled society and its rules; Red Fern Grows follows a boy and his dogs in a rural adventure. None of these hinge on a drought-stricken household in the way Two Degrees does.
