Question 1

Read the passage: "Maya clutched the worn leather glove in her lap. It still smelled of dirt and sunflower seeds—the same brand her grandfather used. 'He'd want you to keep playing,' her mother whispered from the doorway. Maya nodded, though her throat felt tight. She tucked the glove into her bag and zipped it shut. Tomorrow was the first game of the season, and for the first time, Grandpa wouldn't be in the stands." Which sentence from the passage best shows that Maya is determined to play despite her sadness?

"Maya clutched the worn leather glove in her lap." "It still smelled of dirt and sunflower seeds—the same brand her grandfather used." "She tucked the glove into her bag and zipped it shut." "Tomorrow was the first game of the season, and for the first time, Grandpa wouldn't be in the stands."

Correct Answer:

"She tucked the glove into her bag and zipped it shut."

Question 2

Read the passage: "The young otter watched the older otters crack open clams on the rocks. She tried once, twice, three times—each attempt ended with the clam slipping back into the water. 'Just give up,' chattered her brother. 'Some things take time,' her mother said calmly. The next morning, the young otter positioned the clam just so, raised a stone, and struck. The shell cracked clean open. She tasted the sweet meat and smiled. From that day, she never shied from a difficult task." What is the theme of this passage?

Otters are clever animals. Older siblings are not always right. Persistence leads to success. Clams are hard to open.

Correct Answer:

Persistence leads to success.

Question 3

Read the passage: "Marcus searched the house for his cat, Pepper. He checked under every bed and behind the couch. 'Pepper!' he called, his voice cracking. His sister Lena pointed to the open window in the kitchen. 'She probably slipped out when Mom was bringing in groceries.' Marcus grabbed a flashlight and headed into the backyard. After ten minutes of searching the bushes, he heard a soft meow from the oak tree. Pepper was perched on a low branch, her eyes gleaming in the dusk. Marcus exhaled and reached up to bring her home." How does Marcus change from the beginning to the end of the passage?

He goes from bored to excited. He goes from worried to relieved. He goes from angry to forgiving. He goes from confident to afraid.

Correct Answer:

He goes from worried to relieved.

Question 4

Read the poem: "The wind was a dancer, spinning through the trees, / tossing handfuls of leaves like confetti. / It whisked away the scarecrow's hat and / rattled the windows like an impatient guest." What does the figurative language in the poem suggest about the wind?

The wind is gentle and quiet. The wind is playful and energetic. The wind is dangerous and destructive. The wind is cold and unwelcoming.

Correct Answer:

The wind is playful and energetic.

Question 5

Read the poem: "The tide creeps in at twilight, / soft and slow it comes. / It laps against the weathered rocks / and hums, and hums, and hums. // The tide retreats at midnight, / leaving silver on the sand. / It pulls the moon across the sky / with a long and quiet hand." How do the two stanzas work together to contribute to the meaning of the poem?

They show the tide moving in opposite directions, creating a cycle. They describe two different oceans to compare their tides. They show that the tide only comes in at night. They argue that the tide is stronger than the moon.

Correct Answer:

They show the tide moving in opposite directions, creating a cycle.
