Michael woke up with a start. Someone was banging at the front door. Heavy footsteps clomped over the bare boards of the hallway. A shouting of voices. Jacko's familiar growl, then the front door slammed shut. Michael shivered and pulled the thin blanket closer around his shoulders. Through the cracked glass of the curtainless window, the sky looked gray and dirty. A groan from the other mattress told him that Toby was awake as well. What can you infer about the place they are living?
brand new
happy and clean
dull and uncared for
bright and colorful
Answer explanation
The correct choice is 'dull and uncared for' because the description of the place as having bare boards, a cracked window, and a dirty sky indicates neglect and lack of maintenance.
