- Where did Luna make her discovery?
Answer: Behind the bookshelf in the library
When you see reading questions that ask "where" something happened, you need to look for specific location details in the passage and pay close attention to what exactly the question is asking about.
The question asks where Luna made her discovery. Looking at the passage, Luna "discovered a small door behind the bookshelf in the library." This is the moment of discovery - when Luna first found something new and exciting. The discovery happened behind the bookshelf in the library, making A the correct answer.
Let's look at why the other choices don't work. Choice B says "in the secret room with paintings," but Luna didn't make her discovery there - she made her discovery of the door first, then went into the secret room afterward. The secret room is what she explored after her discovery. Choice C, "outside in the garden area," is completely wrong since the passage clearly states Luna was inside the house, specifically in the library. Choice D, "upstairs in the house attic," is also incorrect because the passage tells us Luna was in the library, not the attic.
When answering "where" questions in reading, always match the exact location mentioned in the text to what specifically happened there. Don't confuse the place where something was discovered with the place that was discovered - they're often different locations in the same story.
