Educational worksheets on biomes featuring a world map and reading comprehension questions.

Let’s go step by step to solve the questions on the worksheet.

---

First question: “Where do polar bears live?”

Looking at the text in the first box:

> “The climate of the tundra biome is very cold all year long. Many trees cannot live in the tundra biome, but animals like polar bears can.”

So, polar bears live in the tundra biome.

Also, if you look at the map (even though we’re not describing it), the legend shows that polar regions are colored for “Ice, snow and polar desert” or “Tundra” — and the text confirms polar bears are in the tundra.

✔ Answer: Polar bears live in the tundra biome.

Second question: “What text feature is shown on the page?”

On the top right corner of both pages, there’s a black banner that says:

> “NON-FICTION TEXT FEATURES”

That’s a label telling us what kind of text features we’re looking at — like headings, maps, captions, etc.

Also, the map itself is a text feature — it helps show where biomes are located.

But the question is asking: *what text feature is shown on the page?* — meaning, what is the labeled thing?

The most direct answer is the heading/banner that says “NON-FICTION TEXT FEATURES”.

However, sometimes “text feature” refers to things like maps, diagrams, bold words, etc.

In this case, since the map is also present, and the question might be referring to the visual element…

Wait — let’s read the next part:

> “How does this feature help you understand the text?”

And the options are:

a. It shows you what each biome looks like.
b. It helps you see where the different biomes are located.

This tells us the “feature” they’re talking about is the map, because the map shows locations — not what biomes look like (that would be photos or drawings).

So, putting it together:

- The text feature shown = Map
- How it helps = It helps you see where the different biomes are located.

Also, note: the heading “NON-FICTION TEXT FEATURES” is just labeling the section — the actual feature being used to help understand the text is the map.

✔ So, answers:

→ What text feature is shown? → Map

→ How does it help? → b. It helps you see where the different biomes are located.

Third question (multiple choice): “How many biomes can the world be divided into?”

From the second paragraph:

> “The world can be divided up into just six biomes or all the way up to seventeen biomes.”

So, possible answers are 6 or 17.

But the multiple choice gives:

a. seven
b. ten

Neither 6 nor 17 is listed? Wait — maybe I misread.

Wait — let me check again.

Actually, the text says:

> “The world can be divided up into just six biomes or all the way up to seventeen biomes.”

But the multiple choice only has “seven” and “ten”.

Hmm… that doesn’t match.

Wait — perhaps the question is tricking us? Or maybe I need to re-read.

Hold on — maybe the question is from another part? Let me check the image description again.

Actually, looking back — the multiple choice is under a heart icon, and it says:

> “...are show?
> a. seven
> b. ten”

But in the text, it clearly says “six” or “seventeen”.

Unless... wait — maybe the question is incomplete? Or perhaps it's referring to something else?

Wait — no, let’s look carefully.

Actually, in the original image transcription provided by user, the multiple choice is cut off. But based on standard curriculum and common knowledge, some sources say there are 8 major biomes, others say 6, 9, or even 14.

But according to THIS text, it says “just six” or “up to seventeen”.

Since neither 6 nor 17 is an option, and the choices are 7 and 10 — perhaps there’s a mistake?

Wait — let me double-check the exact wording in the text:

> “The world can be divided up into just six biomes or all the way up to seventeen biomes.”

Yes.

But then why are the options 7 and 10?

Perhaps the question is not about total number, but something else?

Wait — looking again at the layout — the multiple choice might be connected to a different sentence?

Actually, no — the only numbers mentioned are 6 and 17.

Unless... maybe the student is supposed to pick the closest? But that’s not fair.

Wait — perhaps I made a mistake.

Another thought: maybe the question is “how many aquatic biomes are there?” — but the text says “There are even biomes in the water called aquatic biomes.” — no number given.

Alternatively, maybe the question is misprinted, and it should be “six” or “seventeen”, but since those aren't options, perhaps the intended answer is based on common teaching.

In many elementary curricula, they teach 8 biomes: Tundra, Taiga, Desert, Grassland, Temperate Forest, Tropical Rainforest, Savanna, Aquatic.

But again, not matching.

Wait — let’s count the colors in the map legend.

Legend has:

- Ice, snow and polar desert
- Tundra
- Taiga
- Temperate forest
- Tropical rainforest
- Grassland
- Desert
- Mediterranean vegetation

That’s 8 categories.

Plus aquatic — so 9?

Still not 7 or 10.

Wait — perhaps the question is: “how many types of biomes are mentioned in the text?”

Text mentions:

1. Tundra
2. Desert
3. Aquatic

Only three explicitly named.

Not helpful.

Wait — going back to the multiple choice location — it’s under a heart, and before that it says “...ure show?” which is probably “biomes are shown?” or similar.

But still.

Perhaps the correct answer is not among them? That can’t be.

Wait — let me read the text one more time:

> “The world can be divided up into just six biomes or all the way up to seventeen biomes.”

Maybe the question is: “according to some scientists, how many biomes are there?” and the answer is 17, but since 17 isn’t an option, and 10 is closer than 7? No.

Alternatively, perhaps the question is from a different version.

Wait — here’s a possibility: maybe the “seven” and “ten” refer to something else.

Look at the fluency tracker — it has line numbers: 11, 20, 31, 44, 56, 62, 76, 88, 101, 114, 124, 125 — that’s 12 lines.

Not relevant.

Another idea: perhaps the multiple choice is for a different question that got cut off.

But based on what’s visible, and since the text says “six or seventeen”, and neither is an option, I think there might be an error.

However, in many standardized tests, if the text says “up to seventeen”, and the options are 7 and 10, they might expect 10 as a middle ground? But that’s not accurate.

Wait — let’s think differently.

Perhaps the question is: “how many biomes are illustrated on the map?”

Count the color-coded areas on the map legend:

From the legend description:

- Ice, snow and polar desert → 1
- Tundra → 2
- Taiga → 3
- Temperate forest → 4
- Tropical rainforest → 5
- Grassland → 6
- Desert → 7
- Mediterranean vegetation → 8

That’s 8 terrestrial biomes.

Plus aquatic — but aquatic isn’t on the map legend? The map is land-based.

So 8.

Still not 7 or 10.

Unless “Mediterranean vegetation” is grouped with something else.

Or perhaps they don’t count “ice, snow and polar desert” as a biome? Some classifications don’t.

If we remove that, we have 7:

1. Tundra
2. Taiga
3. Temperate forest
4. Tropical rainforest
5. Grassland
6. Desert
7. Mediterranean vegetation

That’s 7.

And the text says “just six” — close enough? Maybe they consider Mediterranean as part of temperate or something.

Given that, and since 7 is an option, and it matches the number of colored regions excluding ice/snow, perhaps the intended answer is a. seven.

Moreover, in some educational materials, they simplify to 7 biomes.

So, I’ll go with that.

✔ Final decision for multiple choice: a. seven

Now, compiling all answers:

1. Where do polar bears live? → Tundra biome

2. What text feature is shown? → Map

3. How does this feature help? → b. It helps you see where the different biomes are located.

4. Multiple choice: → a. seven

Final Answer:

Polar bears live in the tundra biome.
The text feature shown is a map.
It helps you see where the different biomes are located.
The world can be divided into seven biomes (based on the map legend and common simplification).
