Question 1

Which details together best support the inference that Nia is careful and prepared?
Correct Answer:
She rechecks due dates, shares her bus plan, packs extra water, and brings a map
Question 2
Read this passage: "At first, Omar laughed when his grandmother asked him to learn her dumpling recipe. By mid-story he was flour-covered and frustrated.

Correct Answer:
Learning a family tradition can turn impatience into respect
Question 3
Read this passage: "The canyon trail was narrow and steep. Each time Lila's boot slipped on loose gravel, her little brother grabbed her sleeve. When the wind rose, she hummed the same song their father used on stormy nights until her brother's breathing slowed." How do the setting and the characters' actions interact?
Correct Answer:
The dangerous trail creates fear, which leads Lila to protect and calm her brother
Question 4

Correct Answer:
They create a marching rhythm that mirrors steady travel toward warmth
