Read the story excerpt below: For three weeks, Caleb spent every evening after homework assembling his wooden birdhouse. He measured the cedar boards twice, sanded the rough edges until they felt like silk, and carefully painted the roof barn-red. On Saturday morning, he mounted it securely onto the backyard oak tree. By late afternoon, a pair of chickadees was already inspecting the entrance hole. Which sentence provides an objective summary of the excerpt?

Caleb builds a birdhouse because he is the most talented craftsperson in his middle school. After spending weeks carefully constructing and mounting a cedar birdhouse, Caleb successfully attracts birds to his yard. Birdhouses painted barn-red are far superior to unpainted wooden birdhouses. Caleb wastes too much time sanding cedar boards when he should be studying for his exams.

Correct Answer:

After spending weeks carefully constructing and mounting a cedar birdhouse, Caleb successfully attracts birds to his yard.
