Read the passage.

Yuki and her dad packed lunch for a picnic at the city park. Dark clouds slid across the sky. Yuki pointed and said, “It might rain soon.”

Her dad checked the weather app. It showed a short shower in ten minutes. “Let’s eat under the pavilion,” he suggested.

They hurried to the covered tables. A few minutes later, raindrops tapped the roof. Yuki stayed dry and kept eating.

Why did Yuki and her dad eat under the pavilion?

Read the passage.

Chen brought a small kite to the beach with his aunt. The wind was light, so the kite kept dipping. Chen tried running faster, but the string still sagged.

His aunt said, “Let’s add a longer tail.” They tied on strips of cloth. The tail made the kite steadier in the air.

Soon the kite rose higher and stayed up. Chen laughed and said, “Now it glides!” His aunt smiled and held the spool while Chen watched.

Why did Chen’s aunt add a longer tail to the kite?
