We are creating a 5-question single-choice quiz based on the book "Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride" by Kate DiCamillo. The user has provided the content of the PDF file, which we can use to extract key events from the first five chapters (since the quiz is to have one question per chapter). Note that the book has 14 chapters, but we are focusing on the first five for this quiz.

Let's summarize the key events in the first five chapters:

Chapter 1:

• Every Saturday, Mr. Watson and Mercy Watson go for a ride in Mr. Watson's convertible.
• Mrs. Watson makes a special lunch, and after lunch, Mr. Watson and Mercy admire the car.
• Mercy hops into the car and sits behind the wheel, but Mr. Watson tells her that pigs cannot drive and moves her to the passenger seat.

Chapter 2:

• Mercy initially refuses to move from the driver's seat.
• Mr. Watson calls for help, and Mrs. Watson comes out and offers Mercy extra hot buttered toast if she moves to the passenger seat.
• Mercy, tempted by the toast, slowly moves to the passenger side.

Chapter 3:

• Mrs. Watson waves goodbye and mentions they will have hot buttered toast when they return.
• Mr. Watson backs out of the driveway quickly without looking back because he is a forward-looking man.
• They set off on their adventure.

Chapter 4:

• The Lincoln sisters (Eugenia and Baby) watch from next door.
• Eugenia expresses her disapproval, calling Mr. Watson a menace and stating that pigs should not be taken for rides.
• Baby agrees with Eugenia but secretly thinks a little folly wouldn't be bad.

Chapter 5:

• On one particular Saturday, the routine happens as usual.
• Eugenia makes her usual comments, but Baby is not there to respond because she has disappeared (we learn later that Baby has sneaked into the car).

Now, we will create one question per chapter (Chapters 1 to 5) with four options each and provide the correct answer.
