Let’s go through each passage one by one and figure out what season it is based on the clues.
---
Passage 1:
> John gazed at the sparkling flakes with joy and wonder. It was the first time he had ever seen them. Impulsively, he stuck out his tongue, and thrilled at the specks of cold that landed there.
- “Sparkling flakes” = snowflakes
- He’s never seen them before → maybe he lives somewhere warm, but this is clearly winter weather
- Cold specks on tongue = snow melting
✔ Conclusion:
Winter

Passage 2:
> The valley was a sea of color, red, gold, orange, coral-pink, all vivid in the bright afternoon sunlight.
- Colors like red, gold, orange, coral-pink → these are fall (autumn) leaf colors
- Bright afternoon sun still happens in fall
✔ Conclusion:
Fall (Autumn)

Passage 3:
> Tim knelt in the soft dirt, and reached for the tiny, pale-green sprout. He touched its bowed head lightly with careful fingers.
- Soft dirt + tiny green sprout = something just starting to grow
- This sounds like spring — when plants begin to come up after winter
✔ Conclusion:
Spring
---
Passage 4:
> The kids splashed in the backyard pool. Dogs barked. The smell of burgers filled the air. Someone who couldn’t wait for the sun to go down set off a single firework with a bang.
- Pool = hot weather
- Burgers = barbecue, common in summer
- Fireworks = often used around July 4th or other summer holidays
✔ Conclusion:
Summer
