Here are the answers to the questions in your worksheet, along with a step-by-step explanation for each one.
1. Jake and Cassie
*
Step 1: Read the story. It is cold outside. Jake has a sweatshirt, but Cassie does not.
*
Step 2: Look at Jake's actions. He gives his warm sweatshirt to Cassie so she won't be cold. Even though he gets colder himself, he feels happy because he helped her.
*
Step 3: Compare this to the options.
* *Selfish* means caring only about yourself (Jake did the opposite).
* *Sociable* means liking to talk to people (this isn't the main point here).
* *Considerate* means thinking about other people's feelings and needs.
*
Conclusion: Jake thought about Cassie's needs before his own.
2. Craig the Football Player
*
Step 1: Read the story. The coach told the team to arrive at 6:00 AM.
*
Step 2: Look at Craig's actions. He arrived at 5:00 AM, which is one hour early, just to get extra training in.
*
Step 3: Compare this to the options.
* *Careless* means not paying attention (Craig paid close attention).
* *Proud* means feeling good about yourself (Craig might be proud later, but arriving early shows effort).
* *Dedicated* means working very hard and being committed to a goal.
*
Conclusion: Arriving early to work harder shows dedication.
3. Anna and Kylie
*
Step 1: Read the story. Anna volunteered to help Kylie clean.
*
Step 2: Look at Kylie's actions. Instead of saying "thank you," Kylie criticized how Anna washed the mirrors and how she swept the floor. She was bossy and rude to someone trying to help her.
*
Step 3: Compare this to the options.
* *Helpful* describes Anna, not Kylie.
* *Lazy* means not wanting to work (Kylie was working, just badly treating her helper).
* *Unappreciative* means not showing thanks or gratitude for help received.
*
Conclusion: Kylie did not appreciate Anna's help.
4. Corey and the Pencil
*
Step 1: Read the story. Corey lost her pencil, saw Beth using one that looked like hers, and immediately started crying and ran away.
*
Step 2: Analyze the reaction. Corey didn't ask Beth where she got it; she just assumed it was stolen and had a big emotional reaction.
*
Step 3: Look at the options provided in the image (A, B, C).
* *Note:* The image cuts off after the question, so I cannot see the specific options (A, B, C) for this question. However, based on the story, the trait is likely
emotional,
impulsive, or
sensitive. If you have the options in front of you, look for the word that describes someone who reacts strongly with their feelings.
