Question 1

1. In hives (correct answer)
2. In ponds
3. In caves

Explanation: This asks about finding details. The text says "Bees live in hives." So bees live in hives.

Question 2

1. At the park (correct answer)
2. At the library
3. At the store

Explanation: This question asks where the kids played. The story says "Jamal and Sofia played at the park." The answer is right there!

Question 3

1. At the store
2. At the beach
3. At the park (correct answer)

Explanation: This asks about finding details. The story says "Jamal and Sofia played at the park." They played at the park.

Question 4

1. Books (correct answer)
2. Movies
3. Games

Explanation: The passage tells us a library has many books and that kids go there to read and borrow books. So the library is a place to find books. Movies is wrong because, even though some libraries have them, this passage never says this library has movies. Games is wrong because the passage does not mention games either. Only books are named in the text, so books is the one best answer.

Question 5

1. They roll (correct answer)
2. They jump
3. They slide

Explanation: This asks how wheels move. The text says "They roll on the ground." Wheels are round and they roll.

Question 6

1. Books (correct answer)
2. Toys
3. Food

Explanation: The passage tells us the library is a place to find books, so books is the right answer. Toys is not correct because the passage never says you can find toys at the library. Food is not correct either, because the passage talks about reading and shelves, not about food. Only books is something the text says you can find at the library.

Question 7

1. Webs (correct answer)
2. Honey
3. Nests
4. Holes

Explanation: The passage tells us spiders make webs and catch bugs in their webs, so webs is the right answer. Bees are the animals that make honey, not spiders. Some birds make nests to live in, but the story does not say spiders make nests. Animals like moles dig holes, but spiders do not make holes. Only webs matches what the passage says spiders make.

Question 8

1. A blue lunchbox
2. A soccer ball
3. Her red backpack (correct answer)

Explanation: This asks what Emma brought. The text says "She brought her red backpack." Emma used it to carry her things.

Question 9

1. In a pond
2. In hives (correct answer)
3. On a farm

Explanation: This question asks where something lives. The text says "Bees live in hives." That's the answer right there!

Question 10

1. Her book about frogs
2. Her school on Monday
3. Her red backpack (correct answer)

Explanation: The story tells us that Emma brought her red backpack to school, so that is the right answer. The book about frogs is something Emma read at school, not something she brought from home. School on Monday is where and when Emma went, not a thing she carried. Only the backpack answers the question about what Emma brought.

Question 11

1. They mixed flour, sugar, and eggs (correct answer)
2. They stirred sugar, butter, and milk
3. They put the eggs in the fridge

Explanation: The passage states that Mom and Carlos mixed flour, sugar, and eggs to make the cookies. The other choices describe actions (washing a car, stirring different ingredients, putting eggs in the fridge) that are not part of the story's cookie-making process.

Question 12

1. She went on Monday (correct answer)
2. She went on Tuesday
3. She went on Sunday

Explanation: The story tells us the day Emma went to school. It says Emma went to school on Monday, so that is the right answer. Tuesday is a school day too, but the story does not say Emma went on Tuesday. Sunday is wrong because Sunday is not a school day, and the story never says Sunday. Read the words in the story carefully to find the day Emma went.

Question 13

1. They poured cold milk and butter into a big bowl.
2. They rolled the warm cookies in sugar and cinnamon.
3. They stirred together flour, sugar, and eggs. (correct answer)

Explanation: The passage tells us they mixed flour, sugar, and eggs to make the cookie mix, so stirring together flour, sugar, and eggs is the right answer. Pouring cold milk and butter into a bowl sounds like cooking, but the story never says they used milk or butter, so that choice is wrong. Rolling warm cookies in sugar and cinnamon happens after baking, not when making the mix, and the story does not mention cinnamon. Look back at the sentence that names what they mixed to find the best answer.

Question 14

1. On Monday (correct answer)
2. On Saturday
3. In summer

Explanation: This question asks when something happened. The story starts with "Emma went to school on Monday." The first sentence tells us when!

Question 15

1. The teacher
2. The librarian (correct answer)
3. The author

Explanation: The librarian is the helper at the library whose job is to help people find books. A teacher works at a school, not at the library in this text. An author is a person who writes books, but the text does not say an author helps people find them.

Question 16

1. They mixed the flour and the eggs. (correct answer)
2. They put the cookies in the hot oven.
3. They let the warm cookies cool down.
4. They bought the cookies at the store.

Explanation: The story tells the steps in order. It says first they mixed flour and eggs, so mixing the flour and eggs is the first thing they did. Putting the cookies in the hot oven happened next, not first. Letting the warm cookies cool down would come much later, after they baked. They did not buy the cookies at the store, because the story shows they made them at home. The best answer is that they mixed the flour and the eggs.

Question 17

1. Fast train cars
2. Yellow school buses
3. Big fire trucks (correct answer)

Explanation: The text tells us firefighters ride in fire trucks, so big fire trucks is the best answer. Fast train cars is wrong because the text never says firefighters ride trains. Yellow school buses is wrong too, because school buses carry students, not firefighters. Think about what the story really says firefighters ride in!

Question 18

1. They rolled big snowballs. (correct answer)
2. They put on the hat and scarf.
3. They stacked the snowballs up.
4. They looked for the warm hat.

Explanation: The story tells the steps in order. It says FIRST they rolled big snowballs, so rolling the snowballs is the right answer. Putting on the hat and scarf came LAST, not first. Stacking the snowballs happened in the middle, after they rolled them. Looking for the warm hat is not something the story says they did first — the hat and scarf came at the end. Only rolling the big snowballs matches the word FIRST in the story.

Question 19

1. They push things up into the air.
2. They roll along the ground. (correct answer)
3. They stay in one place on the ground.

Explanation: The passage tells us wheels are round and roll along the ground, so the choice about rolling along the ground is the best answer. The choice that says wheels push things up into the air is wrong, because the text says wheels roll, not lift things up. The choice that says wheels stay in one place is wrong too, because things that stay still cannot help move a car, bike, or wagon. Wheels have to roll to help things go.

Question 20

1. The baker who works there (correct answer)
2. The people who buy treats
3. The cook at the school
4. The farmer with the cows

Explanation: The story tells us the baker makes the bread at the bakery, so the baker who works there is the right answer. The people who buy treats only come to buy things, they do not make the bread. The cook at the school makes food somewhere else, not at the bakery. The farmer with the cows takes care of animals and does not bake bread. Only the baker makes the bread!
