Let's solve each question step by step based on the passage provided.

Question 1:
What can you infer about where Miya is?
Options:
A) She is at home.
B) She is at school.
C) There is not enough information to tell where she is.
D) She is at the park.
Answer: B) She is at school.
Explanation:
We are asked to make an inference — that means using clues from the text to figure out something that isn't directly stated.
Key details in the passage:
- "She ran down to the cafeteria" → Cafeterias are commonly found in schools.
- "She sincerely thanked Ms. Lucille and then went back to class." → The phrase
"went back to class" strongly suggests she is in a school setting.
- "Ms. Lucille" sounds like a staff member (possibly a teacher or lunch aide), which fits a school environment.
These clues together support the inference that Miya is at
school.

Question 2:
What text evidence supports your answer to the previous question? What helped you to infer her location?
Options:
A) Line 7 "She felt relieved, but she was still a little worried."
B) Line 4 - "Miya pulled a damp phone from out of her back pocket..."
C) Line 1 and 2 "She ran down to the cafeteria." and Line 6 - 7 "...and then went back to class."
D) Line 1 "Miya came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes."
Answer: C) Line 1 and 2 "She ran down to the cafeteria." and Line 6 - 7 "...and then went back to class."
Explanation:
This question asks for
text evidence — specific parts of the passage that support our inference.
- “She ran down to the cafeteria” tells us there’s a cafeteria nearby, common in schools.
- “...and then went back to class” clearly indicates she was going to or coming from a classroom, which is only typical in a school.
These two lines together provide strong evidence that she is at school.
Other options don’t help determine location:
- A talks about emotions, not location.
- B describes her phone, unrelated to location.
- D only mentions the bathroom, which exists in many places.
So,
Option C is the best choice because it includes
two key pieces of evidence pointing to a school.

Question 3:
This appears to be a continuation of the same passage, but no actual question is listed here. It seems like the third question might be missing or cut off. However, since the image shows only three numbered items and the third one ends mid-sentence, we’ll assume it's incomplete.
But if this were a typical inference question following the pattern, it might ask something like:
> Why was Miya crying?
Or
> What did Miya do with the rice and phone?
But since no specific question is given for #3, we cannot answer it without more information.
