- Read the two mystery story excerpts, then answer the question. Story 1: "The Notebook Code" Marcus found a page torn from his notebook. In its place was a slip that read: 3-1-20. He frowned. "Is this a threat or a prank?" he whispered. Marcus didn't panic. He opened the class dictionary and counted: 3rd word on the page, 1st letter, 20th word. The letters spelled: ART. He checked the art room and found his torn page taped to an easel. On it was a drawing of the class mascot wearing a crown. Ms. Diaz laughed. "The art club is making posters," she said. "They borrowed paper without asking." Marcus said, "Next time, ask first. I'm glad it wasn't something worse." Story 2: "The Broken Bracelet" Maya's beaded bracelet snapped during gym. After class, she found beads scattered near the bleachers, but several were missing. Maya's chest felt tight. Those beads came from her cousin. She searched the floor and found a bead stuck to a piece of gum. She followed the gum spots to the water fountain. A student was rinsing hands, and a few beads sat on the ledge. "I picked them up so no one would slip," the student said quickly. "I was going to give them back, but I got nervous." Maya nodded. "Thank you for saving them," she said. "It helps to speak up sooner." Story 1 and Story 2 both show how clues can lead to the truth. How do the two stories differ in the type of clues used to solve the mystery?
