Show Answer Key & Explanations
Step-by-step solution for: Inference Worksheets
Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll read the description, look at what the picture shows (even though we can’t see it, we trust the text), and pick the best answer based on logic.
---
1. Jacob’s backpack is open.
Options:
- He has taken his books to do homework.
- He is with his grandma.
- He is riding a bike.
→ If his backpack is open, the most logical reason is that he’s taking something out — like books for homework. The other options don’t connect directly to an open backpack.
✔ Best choice: He has taken his books to do homework.

2. Edward’s living room has muddy footprints.
Options:
- He is a detective.
- He has brown shoes.
- He was playing in damp grass.
→ Muddy footprints mean someone walked in from outside where there was mud or wet ground. Playing in damp grass would make your shoes muddy. Being a detective or having brown shoes doesn’t cause muddy footprints.
✔ Best choice: He was playing in damp grass.

3. Helen broke open her piggy bank after a year.
Options:
- She didn’t want to save any more.
- She is going to buy a bike with the money.
- She decided to switch banks.
→ Breaking open a piggy bank usually means you’re ready to spend the saved money. “Switching banks” doesn’t make sense here — it’s not a real bank. Not wanting to save anymore is possible, but buying something specific (like a bike) is a more common and logical reason after saving for a year.
✔ Best choice: She is going to buy a bike with the money.

4. Mia was looking behind a tree.
Options:
- She was crossing the street.
- She was too tired to go home.
- She was playing hide-and-seek with her friends.
→ Looking behind a tree suggests she’s hiding or searching — which fits perfectly with playing hide-and-seek. Crossing the street or being tired doesn’t explain why she’s peeking behind a tree.
✔ Best choice: She was playing hide-and-seek with her friends.

5. Wanda duck carried two worms in her beak.
Options:
- She was hungry so that she could eat them herself.
- She wanted to share the food to feed in the nest.
- She didn’t find a fish to eat and ate the worms.
→ Ducks often carry food back to their nests to feed babies. Carrying *two* worms suggests she’s bringing them somewhere — likely to feed ducklings. Eating them herself wouldn’t require carrying them; she’d just eat them right away. The third option says she ate them — but the sentence says she “carried” them, implying she hasn’t eaten them yet.
✔ Best choice: She wanted to share the food to feed in the nest.

Final Answer:
1. He has taken his books to do homework.
2. He was playing in damp grass.
3. She is going to buy a bike with the money.
4. She was playing hide-and-seek with her friends.
5. She wanted to share the food to feed in the nest.
