Since you did not select any specific options (ExplainAnswer, TeachTopic, or GeneratePractice are all false), I will provide the direct answers to fill in the blanks on the worksheet based on the book *Bridge to Terabithia* by Katherine Paterson.
Here is the information needed to complete the "Make Inferences" section for Chapter 10:
FOCUS: Using a sticky note, mark a place where Jess becomes more strategic.
*
Answer: You should look at the part of the chapter where Jess decides how to handle the bullies (Janice Avery and her friends) or how he manages his feelings about Leslie. A key moment is often when he realizes that running away or fighting physically isn't working, so he starts using his mind or ignoring them to take away their power. Specifically, look for where he decides not to let Janice Avery see that she has upset him.
RESPOND: Re-read page 128. What do we learn about the way he is looking at the end of the story?
*
Answer: At the end of Chapter 10, Jess’s perspective shifts. He stops seeing himself just as a victim or someone who needs to run away. He begins to feel a sense of inner strength and maturity. He realizes that he can handle difficult situations without losing his temper or feeling small. He is looking at his problems with more calmness and confidence, understanding that he has grown stronger inside, even if things outside haven't changed perfectly.

Final Answer:
Section B: Make Inferences (Chapter 10)
FOCUS: Mark the passage where Jess chooses to ignore Janice Avery or handles a conflict calmly instead of reacting with anger or fear. This shows he is becoming more strategic by controlling his own reactions rather than letting others control him.
RESPOND: We learn that Jess is looking at his life with more maturity and self-confidence. He realizes that he doesn't need to be afraid or angry anymore because he has found inner strength. He sees that he can face challenges (like the bullies or his family issues) with a clearer head and a stronger heart.
