OSAS ELA Grade 6 Practice Questions - Oregon Statewide Assessment System - English Language Arts, Grade 6 Exam

Read the passage below before answering the question. The Trail Crew (1) Jada pulled on her work gloves and studied the muddy path that wound up Mount Ashland. As leader of the student trail crew, she had spent three weekends clearing brush and laying gravel. Today, however, a fallen Douglas fir blocked the route completely. (2) "We can't just leave it," Jada said, sizing up the thick trunk. "Hikers will try to climb over it and get hurt." (3) Marco, the newest volunteer, stared at the tree. "Maybe we could reroute the trail around it? That would be easier than cutting through." (4) Jada shook her head. "A detour would trample the wildflowers the rangers asked us to protect. We cut it." Which sentence from the passage best shows that Jada values following the rangers' instructions?
