Let me work through this inference worksheet step by step.
Step 1: Understanding the text
The passage tells us about Ava's actions and behavior:
- She "huffed and stomped away" from the football pitch "noisily"
- In the changing room, she "kicked off her boots violently"
- One boot hit the wall, leaving a muddy print
Step 2: Question 1 - How is Ava feeling?
Looking at the evidence:
- "Huffed" suggests frustration or anger (like when someone exhales sharply)
- "Stomped" shows she's walking with heavy, angry steps
- "Noisily" indicates she's not trying to be quiet - she wants people to notice
- "Kicked off her boots violently" shows aggressive, angry action
- Hitting the wall shows loss of control
These are all signs of anger, frustration, or being upset.
Answer for Q1: Ava is feeling angry, frustrated, or upset.
Step 3: Question 2 - What has Ava just been doing?
The text says she was on "the football pitch" and then left it. The muddy boots also suggest she was playing outside on a field.
Answer for Q2: Ava has just been playing football (soccer).
Step 4: Question 3 - What do you think has happened to make Ava feel this way?
This requires an inference based on context clues:
- She's leaving the football pitch angrily
- Her behavior is very dramatic and emotional
- Common reasons for this in sports: losing a game, making a mistake, getting benched/substituted, having an argument with teammates or coach, missing an important goal/shot
Since we don't have specific information, we need to make a reasonable guess based on typical situations.
Answer for Q3: Possible answers include: her team lost the game, she made a mistake during the game, she got into an argument with a teammate or coach, she was substituted out of the game, or she missed an important shot/goal.

Final Answer:
1. How is Ava feeling?
Ava is feeling angry, frustrated, or upset. We can tell because she huffed, stomped noisily, and kicked off her boots violently.
2. What has Ava just been doing?
Ava has just been playing football on the football pitch.
3. What do you think has happened to make Ava feel this way?
Several things could have happened: her team might have lost the game, she may have made a mistake during play, she could have argued with a teammate or the coach, she might have been taken out of the game, or she possibly missed an important goal or shot. Any of these situations would explain why she's so upset and acting out her anger.
