Step-by-step solution for: Reading Comprehension ESL Worksheets
Let’s go through each statement one by one and compare it with the text to decide if it’s true or false.
---
1. Alice is married.
→ The text says: “She lives in London with her husband and their dog.”
✔ So, she has a husband → she is married.
Answer: true
---
2. Alice goes to work by bus.
→ The text says: “Then, she gets in her car and drives to work.”
✘ She drives her own car — not by bus.
Answer: false
---
3. Alice always has lunch with Sven.
→ Alice works in London. Sven lives in Stockholm (Sweden). They are in different countries!
Also, the text never says they eat lunch together.
✘ Impossible for them to have lunch together every day.
Answer: false
---
4. Alice drinks coffee with milk in the morning.
→ The text says: “At 8:00, she has breakfast and drinks black coffee.”
“Black coffee” means no milk.
✘ So, she does NOT drink coffee with milk.
Answer: false
---
5. Pedro lives with one of his parents.
→ The text says: “Pedro lives with his mother and his sister.”
His mother is a parent → so yes, he lives with one of his parents.
✔ True.
Answer: true
---
6. Pedro goes home later than Sven.
→ Pedro finishes school at 16:30 and arrives home at 17:00.
Sven finishes work at 17:00 and gets home at 17:30.
So Pedro gets home at 17:00, Sven at 17:30 → Pedro gets home EARLIER.
✘ So this statement is false.
Answer: false
---
7. Pedro plays football in the morning.
→ The text says: “After dinner, he practices the piano. At 8:30, he has a shower... He goes to bed at 9:30...”
And earlier: “During the week he goes to school... After school he has lessons until 16:30.”
No mention of playing football in the morning. In fact, he goes to school in the morning.
✘ False.
Answer: false
---
8. Sven lives with his sister.
→ The text says: “Sven is a postman, who lives in Stockholm with his brother.”
It says “brother”, not “sister”.
✘ False.
Answer: false
---
9. Sven eats lunch outside.
→ The text says: “He takes sandwiches for lunch.”
That usually means he brings food from home — likely eats at work or somewhere, but not necessarily “outside” like at a restaurant. But more importantly, the text doesn’t say he eats *outside*. It just says he takes sandwiches.
But let’s check: Does “takes sandwiches” mean he eats outside? Not really — he could eat inside the post office or on a bench. The word “outside” isn’t supported.
Actually, looking again — there’s no info that he eats *outside*. So we can’t assume that.
✘ Statement is not confirmed → false.
Answer: false
Wait — let me double-check. The question is: “Sven eats lunch outside.”
The text only says: “He takes sandwiches for lunch.”
Taking sandwiches doesn’t mean eating outside. Maybe he eats in the break room.
So unless specified, we can’t say it’s true.
→ So false.
---
10. Sven falls asleep as soon as he goes to bed.
→ The text says: “Sometimes he reads before he goes to sleep.”
If he reads before sleeping, then he does NOT fall asleep immediately.
✘ So this is false.
Answer: false
---
Final Answer:
1. true
2. false
3. false
4. false
5. true
6. false
7. false
8. false
9. false
10. false
