Example Question #1 : Craft And Structure
Grow Flower, Grow by Marie Smith
A flower starts out as a very small seed.
The seed gets planted in the dirt.
The seed needs lots of water to help it grow.
Soon, a green stem and green leaves will poke out of the dirt.
Then, a flower will start to bloom.
Water and sunlight are a flower's food.
So, water and sunlight will help keep a flower alive.
What does "bloom" mean?
To live
To have flower petals
To eat
To die
To have flower petals
To help us answer this question, we need to think about what we know about flowers.
They start as a seed. They have a stem and leaves. But what makes flowers pretty and colorful? Their flower petals.
The text says, "Then, a flower will start to bloom" This is the final step to grow a flower, and the petals are the final thing to show on a flower. The best answer, is "To have flower petals".
Example Question #2 : Craft And Structure
Adapted from Mother Goose in Prose by L. Frank Baum (1897)
The Black Sheep by L. Frank Baum
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for my master,
And one for my dame,
and one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
What is wool?
A house
Hair from a sheep
A house on a lane
A bag
Hair from a sheep
Wool is hair from a sheep. We can infer this from the poem because the man is asking the sheep for the wool. Based on our other answer choices, "Hair from a sheep" makes the most sense. Wool is not a bag or a house. A bag is something you carry full of things and a house is something we live in.
