Problem: Making Predictions Worksheet 1

#### Passage 1:
Vince Thunder's Motorcycle Stunt
- Vince Thunder is about to attempt a difficult motorcycle jump over 17 school buses.
- He notices an oil slick at the end of the ramp.
- He tries to stop but fails because he has too much momentum.

##### Questions:
1. What event is most likely to occur next?
2. What evidence from the text supports your prediction?

##### Solution:
1. Prediction: Vince Thunder is likely to crash into the oil slick and lose control of his motorcycle.
- Reasoning: The text explicitly states that Vince noticed an oil slick at the end of the ramp, which poses a significant hazard. Additionally, it mentions that he attempted to stop but was unable to due to his momentum. This combination suggests that he will not be able to avoid the oil slick, leading to a crash or loss of control.

2. Evidence from the text:
- "There was large oil slick at the end of the ramp."
- "He attempted to stop the bike, but it was too late. He had already built up too much momentum."

#### Passage 2:
Rex and the Bone
- Rex is chewing a bone in an alley when he hears another dog approaching.
- Both dogs begin growling and inching toward each other, maintaining eye contact and increasing their growls as they approach within striking distance.

##### Questions:
3. What event is most likely to occur next?
4. What evidence from the text supports your prediction?

##### Solution:
3. Prediction: The two dogs are likely to engage in a physical fight over the bone.
- Reasoning: The description indicates escalating tension between the two dogs. They are both growling, moving closer to each other, and maintaining eye contact, which are typical signs of aggression and territorial behavior. Given that the bone is a valuable resource, it is highly probable that they will fight over it.

4. Evidence from the text:
- "The two dogs inched toward one another, maintaining eye contact."
- "Each began growling louder as the other approached within striking distance."

#### Passage 3:
John and the Test
- John daydreams about playing video games instead of studying for a biology test.
- He plays Tatakai Fighting Warriors all night and oversleeps the next morning.
- When he arrives at school, the teacher hands out the test, and John looks confused.

##### Questions:
5. What event is most likely to occur next?
6. What evidence from the text supports your prediction?

##### Solution:
5. Prediction: John is likely to perform poorly on the test because he did not study.
- Reasoning: The passage describes John's lack of preparation for the test. He spent the night playing video games instead of studying and arrived tired and unprepared. His confusion upon seeing the test further suggests that he is not ready to answer the questions.

6. Evidence from the text:
- "He didn't really know for sure [what the teacher was saying]."
- "He went home to study for the test, but he was soon drawn to his Game Box. He played Tatakai Fighting Warriors long into the night."
- "When his alarm clock rang the next day, he was too tired to hit the snooze button, so he let it beep for about 20 minutes before he got up and went to school."
- "John looked at his test and scratched his head..."
