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 doing something they weren't supposed to, or because they were scared and didn't want to attract attention or make noise that might scare whatever was inside the wardrobe.
How did you make this inference?
I inferred this from the words "crept" and "trying hard to keep their footsteps silent," which suggest stealth and caution, often associated with secrecy or fear.
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 indicates it was dark outside, as moonlight is only visible at night.
3. How do you think the children felt before opening the doors?
The children likely felt a mixture of fear, excitement, and curiosity before opening the doors.
How did you make this inference?
The text describes their hands as "shaking" and their "hearts were racing," which are physical signs of fear or nervousness. It also says they were "curiously drawn towards it" and "eager to discover what lay within," indicating excitement and curiosity.
