Let’s solve each question one by one, using context clues from the text.
---
Question 1: What does the word “invented” mean?
> *She was always losing her things, so she
invented a robot to help her find her lost stuff!*
- The sentence tells us that because she kept losing things, she *created* or *made up* a solution — a robot.
- “Invented” here means she came up with and built something new to solve her problem.
-
Answer: A) Created
*(“Brought” doesn’t fit — she didn’t bring a robot. “Found” is wrong — she didn’t discover an existing robot.)*
---
Question 2: What does the word “feast” mean?
> *When mom gets home from work after a long day, we have a
feast and eat all of her favorite foods.*
- A “feast” is a large, special meal — often with lots of food and celebration.
- The clue is “eat all of her favorite foods” — this suggests abundance and enjoyment.
-
Answer: C) A big meal
*(“Working” and “A snack” don’t match the context of eating favorite foods together.)*
---
Question 3: What does the word “pale” mean?
> *When I left the scary movie, my face was
pale like a ghost...*
- The comparison “like a ghost” is a big clue — ghosts are usually shown as white or very light in color.
- Also, when people are scared or shocked, their faces often lose color — they turn pale.
- So “pale” here refers to skin color — specifically, very light or whitish.
-
Answer: C) White
*(“Crying” and “Soft” don’t describe color — they’re actions or textures.)*
---
Question 4: Based on the text, how did the person feel after the movie?
> *...my hands were shaking. I don’t think I’ll ever go to a scary movie again!*
- Shaking hands = physical sign of fear or nervousness.
- Saying “I don’t think I’ll ever go again” = regret or being traumatized.
- This shows the person was frightened or upset.
-
Answer: B) Terrified
*(“Excited” would mean they enjoyed it — opposite of what happened. “Sleepy” isn’t supported — no mention of tiredness.)*
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. A) Created
2. C) A big meal
3. C) White
4. B) Terrified
