Question 1

During science time, Mr. Rodriguez reads about different animals and their homes. He explains that some animals 'migrate,' which means they travel to different places when seasons change to find food and stay warm. The children learn about birds flying south for winter.

The next day, Tommy's family is moving to a new house across town. Which sentence shows Tommy correctly learned the meaning of 'migrate' from yesterday's lesson?

  1. Our family will migrate to the new house just like the birds we learned about. (correct answer)
  2. We will migrate all the heavy boxes into the truck before we drive away today.
  3. Mom said we should migrate the dishes so carefully that none of them will break.
  4. Dad will migrate our car and park it inside the garage at the brand new home.
Explanation: The best answer is that the family will migrate to the new house just like the birds. Migrate means to travel from one place to another when seasons change, just like the birds flying south for winter, so it fits a family moving to a new home. The choice about migrating boxes into the truck is wrong because it uses migrate to mean carry or load, not travel to live in a new place. The choice about migrating the dishes so none break is wrong because it uses migrate to mean handle gently, which is not what the word means. The choice about migrating the car into the garage is wrong because it uses migrate to mean park, not move to a new place for the season. Only the first sentence uses migrate the way Tommy learned it.

Question 2

During science time, the children learn about how some animals 'adapt' to cold weather by growing thicker fur or changing colors. The teacher explains that 'adapt' means changing yourself to fit better in a new situation or place.

A new student named Carlos joins the class mid-year. Which statement shows a classmate correctly understanding what it means to 'adapt'?

  1. Carlos grew a whole inch taller since he first came to visit our classroom.
  2. Carlos found his old crayons and markers inside his backpack this morning.
  3. Carlos gave his snack to a friend who forgot to bring one to school.
  4. Carlos is learning to adapt to our classroom by figuring out our daily schedule and where everything goes. (correct answer)
Explanation: The word 'adapt' means changing yourself to fit better in a new place. The best answer says Carlos is learning our daily schedule and where everything goes. He is changing what he does to fit into his new classroom, and that is exactly what 'adapt' means. The choice about Carlos growing an inch taller is about his body getting bigger on its own. Growing taller happens to him, but he is not changing himself to fit into a new place, so it does not show adapting. The choice about finding old crayons and markers in his backpack is just about looking for things he already has. Nothing is changing to fit a new place, so this is not adapting either. The choice about giving his snack to a friend is kind and friendly, but sharing food is not the same as changing yourself to fit into a new situation. When you learn a new word, think about what it really means. Then pick the sentence that matches that meaning. Only one sentence here shows someone changing to fit a new place.

Question 3

Mrs. Chen reads a story about a brave knight who goes on a quest to find a magical treasure. During the story, she explains that 'quest' means a long journey to find something important. Later, the class talks about how the knight showed courage by facing scary dragons.

After hearing this story, Maria uses the word 'quest' when talking about her weekend. Which sentence shows she understands what 'quest' means?

  1. I went on a quest to find my lost toy in the backyard. (correct answer)
  2. I went on a quest to eat a sandwich for my lunch.
  3. I went on a quest to sit down and watch some cartoons.
  4. I went on a quest to take a nap in my warm bed.
Explanation: A quest means a long journey to find something important. Looking for a lost toy in the backyard is a real search, so that sentence uses 'quest' the right way. Eating a sandwich that is already on your plate is not a search for something important, so that one is wrong. Sitting down to watch cartoons is easy and does not mean looking for anything, so that one is wrong too. Taking a nap in your bed is resting, not going on a journey to find something. Only searching for the lost toy fits what 'quest' really means.

Question 4

The class reads a book about different weather. They learn that when storm clouds 'gather,' it means they come together in the sky before it rains. The teacher shows pictures of clouds grouping together before a storm.

At recess, which sentence uses the word 'gather' correctly? ('Gather' means to come together.)

  1. Look! All the kindergarten classes are starting to gather near the swings for a fire drill. (correct answer)
  2. I think the soccer ball will gather over the fence if we kick it too hard again.
  3. The wind is starting to gather very fast, so the flag on the pole looks clean today.
  4. We should gather our shoes onto our feet before we go outside to play in the sandbox.
Explanation: 'Gather' means to come together. 'The classes gather near the swings' uses it correctly.

Question 5

Mrs. Kim reads a story about a little mouse who was 'determined' to reach some cheese on a high shelf. She explains that 'determined' means not giving up and trying very hard to do something important to you. The mouse kept trying different ways to get the cheese.

You are working hard on a puzzle. Which sentence uses the word 'determined' correctly?

  1. I'm determined to finish this hard puzzle even though it is taking me a really long time. (correct answer)
  2. I'm determined that this puzzle is the prettiest one because it has so many bright colors.
  3. I'm determined to eat my snack right now because I am getting really hungry at centers.
  4. I'm determined tired of this puzzle so I want to go play a different game instead.
Explanation: 'Determined' means not giving up. 'I'm determined to finish this hard puzzle' uses it correctly.
