Let’s go step by step.

Question 1:
> Paulina took her homework and a pencil out of her backpack.
> This probably means that:
We need to think about what makes the most sense.
- If someone takes out
homework and a
pencil, they are likely getting ready to
do the homework — not going out to play.
- Going out to play usually doesn’t involve taking out schoolwork and writing tools.
- So, the best conclusion is:
Paulina is going to do her homework.
✔ Check: Does this make sense? Yes. Homework + pencil = doing work.

Question 2:
> Charlie threw a tennis ball across the yard and called, “Fetch, Pebbles!”
> This probably means that:
Think about what “fetch” means — it’s a game you play with a dog where you throw something and the dog brings it back.
Also, “Pebbles” sounds like a pet’s name (maybe a dog).
- Playing soccer involves kicking a big ball, not throwing a small tennis ball.
- Also, you don’t say “fetch” when playing soccer with a friend.
- But if you throw a ball and yell “fetch,” you’re almost certainly playing with a dog.
✔ Check: Tennis ball + “fetch” + name “Pebbles” → definitely playing with a dog.

Final Answer:
1. ☑ Paulina is going to do her homework.
2. ☑ Charlie is playing with his dog.
