Question about instructions for a listening comprehension exercise (7)

Hi teachers,
This is for a listening comprehension exercise. If this is what the students will hear: " 'Oh, you were hungry,' she laughed.", is this a suitable question to ask? Is there a better one?
Write down what she said when she laughed.

Write down what Alex did after the old woman spoke to him.

This is the text:
The old woman’s name was Marta. Her house was very small, but she put some wonderful hot food in front of Alex. He ate quickly, Marta watched him.
‘Oh, you were hungry,’ she laughed.
Alex smiled, but did not stop eating.

Thanks in advance.
