There's a big difference in asking "How would you feel?" & "What would you do?" One question is more emotionally based & the other is more action based, but both prove higher level comprehension. Unfortunately most teachers focus on social/emotional comprehension questions, rather than action oriented questions, to the chagrin of many students, particularly boys.
