My mother saw a Dancing Bear
My mother saw a dancing bear By the schoolyard, a day in June The keeper stood with chain and bar And whistle-pipe and played a tune. The bruin lifted up its head. And lifted up its dusty feet, And all the children laughed to see It caper in the summer heat. They watched as for the Queen it died They watched it march. They watched it halt. They heard the keeper as he cried, “Now, roly-poly! Somersault” And then my mother said, there came The keeper with a begging-cup, The bear with burning coat of fur, Shaming the laughter to a stop. They paid a penny for the dance, But what they saw was not the show; Only, in bruin’s aching eyes, Far-distant forests, and the snow.
–Charles Causley
Why were the bear’s feet dusty?

A The schoolyard was dusty.
B It was summer.
C The sun was shining brightly.
D All of the above.


I could not find the reason. Nowhere was it mentioned that the schoolyard was dusty

Ans 1:

Wasib from Hillside School, HYDERABAD
Class : Class 7
The sentence 'He lifted up his dusty feet' meant that the place was dusty

Ans 2:

Harshita Sharma from Lilavatibai Podar High School, Mumbai
Class : Class 8
Because the sentence says 'lifted up his dusty feet' it means that the place where it was kept it was also dusty

Ans 3:

Shreyoshi Ghosh from Delhi Public School, Gurgaon
Class : Class 8
As the Sentence says ' Lifted up his dirty feet' means that his feet became dusty while dancing in the school yard
