Question 1
Read the passage. "Every summer, Willa visited her grandfather in a small village where the red cliffs lean over the Bay of Fundy. Her grandfather had been the last keeper of the little lighthouse on the point before the light was automated. On her first morning, he pressed a brass key into her palm. 'The light keeps itself now,' he said, 'but a key is for more than doors.' That afternoon Willa climbed the spiral stairs and unlocked the small room at the top. The lamp stood dark and polished, and below her the tide was racing out, uncovering a shining road of wet sand." According to the passage, why did Willa's grandfather no longer need to tend the lighthouse?
Correct Answer:
The light had been automated

Question 5
Read the passage. "A heron stood so still in the shallow river that the minnows thought he was a grey stone. Day after day he watched them flash past, but he never struck, for he was waiting for the fat trout that swam in the deep pool upstream. When autumn came, the trout moved on to deeper waters, and the heron, thin and hungry, went to strike at the minnows at last — but they had grown quick and wary, and his beak snapped on empty water." Why did the heron not strike at the minnows at first?
Correct Answer:
He was waiting for the fat trout in the deep pool
