Questions 1-3 are about the following story.

Once upon a time, there was a young prince. He was very handsome but also very unkind. He was so mean that a witch turned him into a beast. She said, "You will look like a terrible beast as punishment for your unkindness. If you can't find true love by your 30th birthday, you will stay a beast forever!"

Many years went by. One cold winter night, the prince heard someone come into his castle. He rushed down the stairs to find a beautiful girl in the hallway. He decided to keep her prisoner. She begged the beast to let her return home. Feeling bad for the girl, he allowed her to walk around the castle, but he did not allow her to go home.

Soon, the beast found himself doing kind things for the girl. He was in love with her. But the girl did not love him back. She thought he was cruel for keeping her prisoner. She missed her family and friends. He knew it, but he did not want to let her go.

Only a month before his 30th birthday, the beast set her free. He could not see the girl sad any longer. The girl returned home, but she began to miss the beast. She decided to visit him for his birthday.

When she arrived, she was shocked to see the beast becoming more animal-like. Knowing nothing of the curse, she did not know what was happening to him. She ran to him and told him, "I missed you! I love you! What is happening?" She held the beast in her arms and gave him a kiss. At that very moment, the curse was lifted. The beast turned back into a goodlooking prince!
