1. Why do you think the children were trying to be quiet?
The children were likely trying to be quiet because they were sneaking around, possibly to avoid being caught by adults or to maintain the mystery and suspense of their adventure. Their cautious behavior suggests they wanted to keep their actions secret.
How did you make this inference?
I inferred this from the words "crept" and "trying hard to keep their footsteps silent," which imply stealth and a desire not to be noticed. The context of exploring a mysterious wardrobe also supports the idea that they were on a secret mission.
2. Do you think the story took place during the day or the night?
The story most likely took place at night.
How did you make this inference?
The text mentions "glimmers of moonlight shone into the room," which is a clear indicator that it was nighttime, as moonlight is only visible after sunset.
3. How do you think the children felt before opening the doors?
The children likely felt a mixture of fear and excitement before opening the doors.
How did you make this inference?
The passage states that "their hands were shaking, and their hearts were racing," which are physical signs of nervousness or fear. However, it also says they were "curiously drawn towards it" and "eager to discover what lay within," indicating excitement and anticipation.
