The text says both need food and water. Whiskers belong to cats and barking belongs to dogs, so those are not things BOTH can do.
- What happens right after Noor puts the letter in the mailbox?

The text says the rain makes puddles on the ground. The other choices flip the order: puddles do not make rain, and clouds do not fall into puddles.
- What makes the branches move?
Answer: The wind blowing hard.
The text says the wind makes the branches move. Bumping, falling sticks, and growing are not what the text says moves the branches, and sticks drop BECAUSE the branches move.

Answer: People water the plants.
The text says people can help by watering the plants when it does not rain. Plants still need water, dry soil does not help, and plants cannot water themselves.

- Why are there leaves on the ground?
Answer: Because the wind makes branches move and leaves fall.

- How do people help birds find food in winter?
Answer: They put out bird feeders.
The text says people help by putting out bird feeders. Bringing birds inside, planting seeds in snow, and waiting for winter to end sound kind, but the text does not say them.
- Why do people wear a helmet when they ride bikes?
Answer: To keep their head safe if they fall.

- What is DIFFERENT about a bike and a scooter?
Answer: A bike has pedals, but a scooter has a deck.
The text says a bike has pedals but a scooter has a deck, so that is the difference between them. A scooter does not have pedals, since you push it with your foot on the ground instead. A bike does not have a deck, since you sit and pedal instead of standing.
- How are the nurse and the doctor the same?
Answer: Both help people at the clinic.

- Why do squirrels hide nuts?
Answer: To eat them in winter.
The text says squirrels eat the hidden nuts in winter, so that is why they hide them. Keeping animals away sounds likely but is not in the text, and carrying and looking are steps, not the reason.
