Let’s go through the story and answer each question carefully.
First, let’s read the story again to make sure we understand:
> Joshua Smith loves Easter. He loves painting eggs with his favourite colours, making Easter baskets, playing Easter games with his cousins and having Easter egg hunts in the garden. However, his little sister Mary doesn’t like Easter. She doesn’t like it because she never finds any Easter eggs when they have an Easter egg hunt.
>
> This year, Joshua gets to hide the Easter eggs for the Easter egg hunt. He hides some eggs in Mary’s favourite places – the flower garden and the doghouse. He also puts a special pink and blue egg in her bicycle basket because he really wants her to find an Easter egg. He really wants her to have fun this Easter.
Now, let’s tackle the True or False questions one by one.
