Question 1

$4f

Hiding nuts under yellow leaves is impossible in October. Staying calm and taking time to think clearly helps solve problems. Ancient hemlock trees can predict the weather for all animals. High mountain peaks are too cold for young red squirrels.

Correct Answer:

Staying calm and taking time to think clearly helps solve problems.

Question 2

Read the passage and answer the question. [Passage: 'The Whispering Pines of Spruce Knob'] High atop Spruce Knob, the highest mountain peak in West Virginia, stood an ancient hemlock tree named Old Silas. Silas was known across the forest for his sturdy branches and calm wisdom. Every autumn, as chilly winds swept across the Ridge, small creatures gathered around Silas to prepare for the coming winter. Where does the story take place?

In a deep cave near an underground river Atop Spruce Knob in West Virginia In an abandoned barn in the valley On a sandy ocean beach

Correct Answer:

Atop Spruce Knob in West Virginia

Question 3

Read the passage and answer the question. [Passage: 'The Whispering Pines of Spruce Knob'] One crisp October morning, Pip, a young red squirrel, scurried frantically up Silas’s trunk. "Old Silas!" chattered Pip, his tail twitching nervously. "I forgot where I buried my supply of hickory nuts! Winter is coming, and I will have nothing to eat!" Why does Pip scurry frantically up Silas's trunk at the beginning of the story?

He is being chased by a predator in the forest. He cannot remember where he buried his store of winter food. He wants to show Silas a shiny new hickory nut. He wants to build a new nest at the top of the hemlock tree.

Correct Answer:

He cannot remember where he buried his store of winter food.

Question 4

Read the passage and answer the question. [Passage: 'The Whispering Pines of Spruce Knob'] Old Silas rustled his dark green needles softly. "Breathe slowly, little Pip," the tree murmured. "Panic clouds the mind like mountain fog. Think back to yesterday when the morning dew was still fresh on the fern leaves. Where did you feel safest?" In paragraph 3, what does Silas mean when he says "Panic clouds the mind like mountain fog"?

Fog makes hemlock trees grow slower in autumn. Being afraid makes it difficult to see clearly and think properly. Mountain weather changes quickly during October mornings. Squirrels lose their eyesight when fog rolls over the mountain.

Correct Answer:

Being afraid makes it difficult to see clearly and think properly.

Question 5

Read the passage and answer the question. [Passage: 'The Whispering Pines of Spruce Knob'] Pip paused and rested his paws against the warm bark. He closed his eyes. "I was hiding near the mossy boulder by the trickling creek," Pip remembered. "The sun was shining right through the maple leaves!" What does Pip do immediately after resting his paws against Silas's warm bark?

He digs under the yellow leaves at the creek. He closes his eyes and thinks back to where he was yesterday. He gathers extra acorns from a nearby maple tree. He runs down the mountain to tell the other forest animals.

Correct Answer:

He closes his eyes and thinks back to where he was yesterday.
