Let’s go through each question one by one and find the correct answer using only what’s written in the text.
---
Question 1:
The passage says:
> “The heat from lightning causes the surrounding air to expand, resulting in the loud sound known as thunder.”
So, thunder is created because of the
heat from lightning making the air expand.
Now look at the options:
A) Thunder is created from the rain. → Not mentioned.
B) Heat from the lightning creates thunder. → YES — matches the text exactly.
C) Running a comb through your hair creates thunder. → That’s static electricity, not related to this passage.
✔ Correct answer:
B

Question 2:
We’re asked: *How do you know Paul works in construction?*
Look at what the text tells us about Paul:
> “Paul took his muddy boots off... Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls...”
Muddy boots + dusty overalls = signs he’s been working outside, probably on a job site like construction.
Other clues? He drops garbage bag at washing machine (maybe dirty clothes), goes straight to shower — all suggest he got very dirty at work.
Now check options:
A) He goes straight up the stairs to shower → This shows he’s dirty, but doesn’t prove construction.
B) His boots are muddy and his overalls are dusty → Direct evidence from text that suggests physical outdoor labor — likely construction.
C) He wears a hat → Not mentioned at all.
D) He has tools → Not mentioned.
✔ Best answer based on text:
B

Question 3:
Passage says:
> “Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window... Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sob.”
Then mom tries to comfort him, unpacks picnic basket — meaning they were going to have a picnic.
Max snaps: “I don’t want a snack!” — he’s upset.
Why? Because it started raining and thundering — which ruined their plan to fly the kite and have a picnic.
Options:
A) He is bored and has nothing to do. → Maybe, but not the main reason — he was trying to fly a kite before the storm.
B) He is scared of thunderstorms. → Possible, but the text doesn’t say he’s scared — he’s sobbing because he dropped the kite and plans are ruined.
C) It is raining and he cannot go on a picnic. → YES — mom unpacks picnic basket, he had a kite, now storm hits → plans canceled.
D) He is hungry. → No — he refuses a snack.
✔ Correct answer:
C
