Let’s solve each question based on the reading passage “The Present.”
---
1. Joey’s mother gave him a present. — true / false
✔ Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
The very first sentence says: *“Joey’s mother hid Joey’s birthday present in here closet.”*
This clearly tells us that Joey’s mother did give him a present — she just hid it for his birthday. So this statement is
true.
---
2. Joey was curious. — true / false
✔ Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
The second sentence says: *“Joey was curious.”*
It’s stated directly in the text. He wanted to peek at the present because he was curious. So this is
true.
---
3. The present was a toy truck. — true / false
✘ Answer: FALSE
Explanation:
The passage says: *“He found the bag and looked inside. It was a toy airplane.”*
So the present was a
toy airplane, not a toy truck. Therefore, this statement is
false.
---
4. Joey had a good plan. — true / false
✘ Answer: FALSE
Explanation:
Joey thought: *“I will just try out this toy,”* but then the toy flew faster and started chasing him. The story ends with: *“He said to himself, this was not a good plan.”*
So even Joey admitted it wasn’t a good plan — and the outcome (being chased by the toy) shows it went wrong. Therefore, this is
false.
