- What part of the plant takes in the water?
Answer: The roots.
The text says roots take in water from the soil, so the roots are the part that takes in water. Water does move up the stem, but the stem is not the part that takes it in from the soil. 'The leaves, because they are at the top' and 'The flowers, because they need water most' are not what the text says.
- What can strong wind do?
Answer: Strong wind can push trees and blow leaves.
The text says strong wind can blow leaves and make trees bend. 'The moving trees make the wind stronger' and 'Wind can only move small, light things' are not what the text says.
- What is the key idea of this text?
Answer: Leaves change color and fall in fall.
The text says leaves turn colors and then fall off, so the key idea is that leaves change color and fall in fall. 'Trees drink water through their leaves in fall' and 'Leaves fall because animals shake the trees' and 'Leaves turn colors to stay warm in winter' are not what the text says.
- What colors do the leaves turn in fall?
Answer: Red, yellow, and brown.
The text says leaves turn red, yellow, and brown. 'Orange, green, and gold' and 'Red, blue, and brown' are not what the text says.
- How does water move through the plant?
Answer: Water moves from roots up to leaves.
The text says roots take in water and it goes up to the leaves, so water moves from the roots up. 'Water moves from the leaves down to the roots' and 'The soil carries water up the outside of the stem' are not what the text says.
- What is the key idea of this text?
Answer: Wheels help many things roll and move.
The text says wheels help things move and are on bikes, cars, and wagons, so the key idea is that wheels help many things roll. 'Wheels roll because they are heavy' and 'Bikes and wagons move without wheels' are not what the text says.
- What happens to the leaves AFTER they change color?
Answer: They fall off the tree.
The text says leaves change color and then fall off the tree. 'They turn brown and stay on the tree' and 'They change color one more time' are not what the text says.
- What is a nest, based on the text?
Answer: Nests are homes that hold eggs and babies.
The text says nests hold eggs and keep babies safe, so a nest is a home for eggs and babies. 'Nests keep the eggs warm at night' and 'Birds hide food inside their nests' and 'Nests are built to catch rain water' are not what the text says.
