Let's solve each question by making
inferences—which means using clues from the text and our knowledge of the world to make a logical guess.

Question 1:
"Laura sat down beside her friend Allie and opened her lunchbox. What is your guess?"
-
a. Laura is going to draw a picture.
-
b. Laura is going to eat lunch.
-
c. Laura is going to take a nap.
✔ Correct answer: b. Laura is going to eat lunch.
Explanation:
Opening a lunchbox is a strong clue that someone is about to eat. This is a common activity during lunchtime. Drawing or napping wouldn't typically involve opening a lunchbox, so these are less likely.

Question 2:
"The movie ended and everyone clapped. What is your guess?"
-
a. They wanted to see another movie.
-
b. The movie was about to start.
-
c. They liked the movie.
✔ Correct answer: c. They liked the movie.
Explanation:
People usually clap at the end of a movie to show appreciation or enjoyment. Clapping after the movie ends suggests they enjoyed it. Option
b contradicts the fact that the movie *ended*, and option
a isn’t directly supported by clapping alone.

Question 3:
"The students sat in a circle and the teacher opened the book. What is your guess?"
-
a. The teacher is going to read a story.
-
b. The students were going to play outside.
-
c. It is time for lunch.
✔ Correct answer: a. The teacher is going to read a story.
Explanation:
Students sitting in a circle with a teacher holding an open book is a typical setup for reading aloud. The other options don’t match the scene described—playing outside would not involve sitting in a circle with a book, and lunchtime usually involves food or movement, not a book.

✔ Final Answers:
1.
b. Laura is going to eat lunch.
2.
c. They liked the movie.
3.
a. The teacher is going to read a story.
These answers are based on logical inferences from the clues in each sentence.
