Since the user has not specified a particular question to answer from the provided reading comprehension passage, I will provide a summary of the story and the key events that occurred, which is a common task for this type of worksheet.
Reasoning:
1.
Identify the Goal: The goal is to demonstrate understanding of the story "It's Never Easy" by summarizing the sequence of events.
2.
Analyze the Text:
*
Introduction: Randy has a lot of yard work to do on the weekend. He plans to finish in 1.5 hours.
*
Event 1 (Hedge Clippers): He starts with hedge clippers. The left handle breaks, requiring a screw and tape to fix.
*
Event 2 (Riding Mower): He moves to the mower. The tires are low, so he pumps them. The engine won't start, so he hand-turns the cylinders to loosen it. Later, the mower deck makes noise because a belt is loose. He tightens it.
*
Event 3 (Gas Trimmer): He uses the gas trimmer. It starts fine, but halfway through, the plastic cutting line runs out. He has to replace the line.
*
Event 4 (Watering): He tries to water dry bushes. The hose doesn't work. He checks the breaker box in the garage, finds the issue, and the well starts working.
*
Conclusion: He finishes the work. It took him 3 hours instead of the planned 1.5 hours.
3.
Synthesize: The story is about how things kept going wrong for Randy, making his simple job take twice as long as expected.
Final Answer:
Summary of "It's Never Easy"
Randy planned to finish his yard work in one and a half hours, but everything went wrong, and it ended up taking him three hours.
Here is the order of problems he faced:
1.
Hedge Clippers: The left handle broke, so he had to fix it with a screw and tape.
2.
Riding Mower: First, the tires were low. Then, the engine wouldn't start until he loosened the cylinders. Finally, a loose belt made the deck noisy, which he had to tighten.
3.
Gas Trimmer: The plastic cutting line ran out halfway through, so he had to replace it.
4.
Watering: The hose didn't work because the well wasn't running. He had to check the breaker box in the garage to fix the power.
By the time he finished, he was three hours later than he planned!
