Where did Omar and Hassan believe they would go when the war in Somalia ended?

• A. To the United States
• B. Back to Somalia
• C. To Canada
• D. To Europe

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is what Omar and Hassan expect will happen after the fighting stops—that they will return home to Somalia. In When Stars Are Scattered, Omar and his brother live in a Kenyan refugee camp, and even as they endure daily hardships, their strongest hope is to go back to Somalia once the war ends. The homeland represents safety, family, and a normal life they long to resume, so their plans center on returning rather than starting over in a different country. That’s why going back to Somalia is the best answer—it's the outcome they envision and hold onto, even while other refugees might eventually resettle elsewhere.
