But "lazy" is the wrong word for George. George the Cat is calm, and he is wise. The other night, for example, there was a terrible storm with crashing thunder and bright flashes of lightning that lasted two hours. Another cat might have darted around the room, frantic and hyper, thumping into walls and diving off countertops. But George just woke up from his perch and quietly analyzed the situation, watching me closely for cues to how to react. He seemed to be asking me, "Should I be very frightened?" I just kept cooking spaghetti and singing along to the radio. So George didn't waste any time; he went right back to sleep. Which words from the passage have a positive connotation?

a "Frantic" and "Hyper"
b "Calm" and "Wise"
c "Crashing" and "Thumping"
d "Sleeping" and "Darted"
