Story 1:
Text:
Tony planted some tomato seeds in his garden and watered them every day. In a few days, he noticed a ________.
Options:
a) sapling
b) empty pot
c) tomato farm
#### Explanation:
- Tony planted tomato seeds and watered them daily.
- After a few days, it is reasonable to expect that the seeds would start to grow into small plants.
- A "sapling" refers to a young plant, which aligns with what Tony would notice after planting seeds.
- An "empty pot" does not make sense because the seeds were planted in the ground, not in a pot.
- A "tomato farm" is too advanced for just a few days of growth; it implies a fully grown garden, which is not realistic in this context.
Correct Answer:
a) sapling

Story 2:
Text:
Maggie woke up and looked outside the window. It was a bright and beautiful day for a picnic. She was excited and ________.
Options:
a) went back to sleep.
b) spent the day reading.
c) got ready for a picnic.
#### Explanation:
- Maggie woke up and saw a bright, beautiful day, which she described as perfect for a picnic.
- Since she was excited about the weather being ideal for a picnic, it is logical to assume she would prepare for the picnic.
- Option (a) "went back to sleep" contradicts her excitement about the weather.
- Option (b) "spent the day reading" does not align with her enthusiasm for the picnic.
- Option (c) "got ready for a picnic" matches her excitement and the context of the story.
Correct Answer:
c) got ready for a picnic
