Practice Test 8

After reading "The Lost Puppy," Maya writes about character traits. Does she describe Max in depth?

In this part of the story, how does the writer develop the event through description to show Sofia’s response?

Sofia slid the library book under her desk and opened her backpack slowly. Her fingers searched the front pocket, then the side pocket, then the big zipper, but the permission slip was not there. She pulled out a crumpled snack wrapper and a bent pencil, then pushed them back in and tried again. The paper in her folder rustled as she flipped it fast, stopping at every blank page like it might suddenly appear. When the bell rang, Sofia tucked the folder tight against her chest and walked to the teacher’s desk without looking up.
