Guy Fawkes Night is a holiday in England that celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot. It is remembered on the 5th of November. On November 5, 1605, a group of Roman Catholics tried to blow up King James I and the Houses of Parliament. They did not like the king’s treatment of Catholics. They hoped that English Catholics would take over the country after the murder of the King, his ministers, and Parliament members. The plotters rented a cellar under the Houses of Parliament. Guy Fawkes hid twenty barrels of gunpowder there just a few days before Parliament was due to meet. One of the plotters warned a relative, Lord Monteagle, not to go to Parliament on November 5th. Lord Monteagle warned the government, and Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar and arrested. All of the conspirators died resisting arrest or were tried and executed. The 5th of November was then made a public holiday known as Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night. It is still celebrated today. Children make Guy Fawkes dummies out of old clothes. They stuff them with straw and newspaper and carry these “Guys” through the streets while collecting pennies. The children shout, “Penny for the Guy!” People light huge bonfires, and they burn the “Guys” and set off fireworks. There is usually a feast, and sometimes people roast potatoes and chestnuts in the ashes of the bonfire. 6 Which statement is supported by the passage? A. King James I was a beloved ruler of the people. B. "Guys" are burned to celebrate the failure of the Gunpowder Plot. C. The Houses of Parliament came under attack for years afterward. D. Lord Monteagle was responsible for beginning the holiday.

B. "Guys" are burned to celebrate the failure of the Gunpowder Plot.

The first sentence of the passage states that "Guy Fawkes Night is a holiday in England that celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot." Later in the passage it says that on this night "Children make Guy Fawkes dummies out of old clothes...they burn the "Guys" and set off fireworks." The passage supports the statement that the "Guys" are burned in celebration of this failure. Option A is not correct because Guy Fawkes and his supporters definitely did not think King James I was a beloved ruler. Option C is not correct because there is nothing in the passage that says that Parliament was under attack after the Gunpowder Plot was discovered. Option D is also not correct because there is nothing in the passage that says who is responsible for actually beginning the holiday.
