Question 1

1. The glossary (correct answer)
2. The heading
3. The captions
4. The table of contents

Explanation: The glossary is the text feature that helps readers find word meanings, including "possessive." The heading, captions, and table of contents serve other purposes and do not define words.

Question 2

1. Page 4
2. Page 8 (correct answer)
3. Page 2

Explanation: We use a table of contents to find topics. Look for "Indefinite Pronouns" in the list. It says Page 8 next to it.

Question 3

1. Personal Pronouns
2. Possessive Pronouns (correct answer)
3. What Is a Pronoun?

Explanation: We need to find possessive pronouns. Words like "my" and "their" show who owns something. Look under "Possessive Pronouns" for these words.

Question 4

1. Heading 1: Running
2. Heading 2: Swimming (correct answer)
3. Heading 3: Jumping
4. Heading 4: Painting

Explanation: The correct answer is Heading 2 because it names swimming. Heading 1 is wrong because it names running, not swimming. Heading 3 is wrong because it names jumping, not swimming. Heading 4 is wrong because painting is not one of the headings in this book.

Question 5

1. Not smooth (correct answer)
2. Covered in water
3. Very soft
4. Very loud

Explanation: The correct answer is not smooth because the glossary says rough means not smooth. Covered in water is wrong because that is the meaning of wet, not rough. Very soft is wrong because it is the opposite of rough. Very loud is wrong because it does not match any glossary word.

Question 6

1. Page 8
2. Page 2 (correct answer)
3. Page 6

Explanation: We use the table of contents to find topics. "Replacing a name" is what pronouns do. Look for "Pronouns Replace Names" - it's on Page 2.

Question 7

1. The table of contents
2. The page number
3. The glossary (correct answer)

Explanation: The correct answer is the glossary because glossaries list word meanings, and hers would be defined there if it needed explaining. The table of contents is incorrect because it lists pages and topics, not word meanings. The page number is incorrect because a page number does not explain what a word means.

Question 8

1. Page 7
2. Page 3
3. Page 5 (correct answer)

Explanation: Pronouns that show owning are called possessive pronouns, and the table of contents shows that Possessive Pronouns starts on page 5. Page 7 and page 3 are about other pronoun topics, not this one.

Question 9

1. Very large
2. Nice to others
3. Not afraid (correct answer)
4. Very sleepy

Explanation: The correct answer is not afraid because the glossary says brave means not afraid. Very large is wrong because that is the meaning of big, not brave. Nice to others is wrong because that is the meaning of kind, not brave. Very sleepy is wrong because it does not match any glossary word.

Question 10

1. Page 6
2. Page 4 (correct answer)
3. Page 8

Explanation: The table of contents shows that Personal Pronouns starts on page 4. Page 6 and page 8 are about other pronoun topics, not this one.

Question 11

1. Dogs like to play outside. (correct answer)
2. All dogs are red.
3. The park has no grass.
4. Dogs cannot run.

Explanation: The caption says dogs like to play outside, so Choice A is correct. The caption does not talk about color or grass, and a dog can run.

Question 12

1. The table of contents
2. The headings
3. The glossary (correct answer)

Explanation: The glossary is the text feature that gives the meaning of words, so it would help find what brave means. The table of contents shows page numbers for sections, and headings show the titles of sections, so neither gives word meanings.

Question 13

1. Not wanting to be seen or heard (correct answer)
2. Feeling glad
3. Not scared to try something new

Explanation: The glossary tells you that shy means not wanting to be seen or heard. Feeling glad is the meaning of happy, and not scared to try something new is the meaning of brave, so neither matches shy.

Question 14

1. Page 6
2. Page 1
3. Page 4 (correct answer)

Explanation: Page 4 is correct because the heading Jungle is listed next to page 4. Page 6 is where Ocean is found, not Jungle. Page 1 is where Farm is found, not Jungle. The list shows Jungle right before the number 4.

Question 15

1. The glossary (correct answer)
2. The table of contents
3. The heading

Explanation: A glossary lists words and their meanings, so it helps a reader find what a word means. The table of contents shows what topics are in the book and where to find them, not word meanings. Headings label sections of the book, but they do not explain word meanings.

Question 16

1. Page 7 (correct answer)
2. Page 3
3. Page 5

Explanation: The correct answer is Page 7 because the table of contents lists Indefinite Pronouns, the heading that matches words like everyone and nobody, next to page 7. Page 3 is incorrect because that page is about Personal Pronouns. Page 5 is incorrect because that page is about Possessive Pronouns.

Question 17

1. He, She, It
2. I and You
3. We and They (correct answer)

Explanation: We and They is correct because that heading lists the pronoun they. He, She, It is wrong because they is not listed under that heading. I and You is wrong for the same reason, they does not appear there. Matching the word you are looking for to the heading that lists it helps you find the right section.

Question 18

1. Indefinite Words
2. Names and Pronouns (correct answer)
3. Possessive Words

Explanation: This tests choosing the right heading. To learn what a pronoun is, read 'Names and Pronouns'. This heading talks about both names and pronouns.

Question 19

1. Possessive Pronouns
2. Indefinite Pronouns (correct answer)
3. Personal Pronouns

Explanation: Everyone and someone are examples of indefinite pronouns, so the heading Indefinite Pronouns would help find them. Possessive Pronouns is about words that show owning, and Personal Pronouns is about a different group of pronouns, so neither matches.

Question 20

1. Page 4 (correct answer)
2. Page 2
3. Page 6

Explanation: The table of contents shows that Personal Pronouns starts on page 4. Page 2 tells what a pronoun is, and page 6 is about a different pronoun topic, so neither matches.
