Let’s go step by step to answer each question based on the text.
---
Question 1: On which day can the boys all get together to play?
From the text:
> “Monday is the only day that the boys can get together after school to play cricket on the field because no other sports are played on that day.”
So,
Monday is the only day all three (Jamie, Pravin, and Themba) can play together.
✔ Answer: Monday
---
Question 2: What sport do the boys all play together?
Again from the same sentence:
> “...play cricket on the field...”
They play
cricket together on Monday.
✔ Answer: Cricket

Question 3: Who scored the most runs playing cricket?
Text says:
> “Last Monday Pravin scored 78 runs and Themba scored 102 runs. Jamie only scored 15 runs.”
Compare:
- Pravin: 78
- Themba: 102 ← highest
- Jamie: 15
✔ Answer: Themba
---
Question 4: Who plays sports on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday?
Let’s check each person:
-
Jamie:
- Tuesdays → basketball with Themba
- Wednesdays & Fridays → soccer with Pravin
→ So Jamie plays on Tue, Wed, Fri
✔
-
Pravin:
- Wednesdays & Fridays → soccer with Jamie
- No mention of Tuesday → so NOT all three days
✘
-
Themba:
- Tuesdays → basketball with Jamie
- Thursdays → chess (not a sport? but even if it is, not Tue/Wed/Fri)
- No mention of Wed or Fri for Themba → so NOT all three days
✘
Only
Jamie plays on all three days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.
✔ Answer: Jamie
*(Note: The question says “plays sports” — chess might not count as a sport, but even if it did, Themba doesn’t play on Wed/Fri. So still only Jamie fits.)*

Question 5: What is the total amount of runs made by Pravin, Themba and Jamie?
Runs:
- Pravin: 78
- Themba: 102
- Jamie: 15
Add them:
78 + 102 = 180
180 + 15 =
195
✔ Answer: 195
---
Question 6: What day does Jamie play basketball?
Text says:
> “On Tuesdays Jamie goes to basketball practice with Themba”
✔ Answer: Tuesday

1. Monday
2. Cricket
