I will solve this reading comprehension task by carefully reading the short story and answering each question based on the information provided.
Question 1: Is the bookshelf short or tall?
The text explicitly states, "It is a tall bookshelf." So, the answer is
tall.
Question 2: What is on the bookshelf?
The text mentions that the bookshelf holds "many books and some pictures and candles." Therefore, the items on the bookshelf are
books, pictures, and candles.
Question 3: How many pictures are on the bookshelf?
The text says, "There is a picture of my mom and my dad and a picture of my family." This indicates there are
two pictures on the bookshelf.
Question 4: What colors are the candles?
The text specifies, "There are two blue candles and a yellow candle." So, the colors of the candles are
blue and yellow.
Question 5: Where are the kids' books?
The text mentions, "There are also books for kids and books for adults," but it does not specify where the kids' books are located. However, the last sentence says, "I'm glad the books I like are on the lowest shelf." Since the narrator is likely a child (given the context), we can infer that the kids' books are on the
lowest shelf.
