The worksheet asks the student to read a short story and then answer questions based on it. Since no specific question from the worksheet was provided for me to solve, I will create and answer a likely comprehension question based on the text.

A common type of question for this kind of story would be: “What problem is Kevin trying to solve in the story?”

Step-by-step reasoning:
- The story says Kevin loves solving mysteries and puzzles.
- His mom can’t find her glasses, and she needs them to drive him to his friend’s house.
- Kevin wants to help, so he starts asking questions to figure out where the glasses are.
- He asks his mom where she last remembered seeing them — she says while watching the news.
- Then he asks where she was watching the news — implying he’s going to use that clue to solve the mystery.
- So the problem Kevin is solving is: Where are his mom’s missing glasses?

This fits the title “The Solver” — Kevin is solving the mystery of the lost glasses.

Final Answer:
Kevin is trying to solve the mystery of where his mom’s missing glasses are.
