Step-by-step solution for: Making Predictions - ELA Worksheets - SplashLearn
Let’s go through each situation one by one and think about what would most likely happen based on the clues given.
---
Situation A:
> The weather forecast showed rainfall at noon. Bella didn’t see the news that day and left her umbrella in the car. When she left from school...
We know:
- It was going to rain.
- Bella didn’t know it would rain.
- She left her umbrella in the car (so she didn’t have it with her).
→ So when she left school, if it rained, she wouldn’t be able to stay dry.
Look at the options:
1. Bella got wet in the rain. → Makes sense — no umbrella + rain = getting wet.
2. Bella opened her umbrella. → But she left it in the car! Can’t open it if it’s not with her.
3. Bella adopted a pet. → No connection to rain or umbrella.
4. Amelia got wet in the rain. → Who is Amelia? Not mentioned in the story.
✔ Best answer: 1. Bella got wet in the rain.

Situation B:
> Cam was riding his bike. There was a small rock in the path, which he did not spot in time and rode his bike over it. So,
We know:
- He hit a rock while biking.
- He didn’t see it in time → so he couldn’t avoid it.
→ Hitting a rock suddenly can make you lose balance.
Options:
1. Cam jumped with joy. → Why would hitting a rock make him happy? Doesn’t fit.
2. Cam fell off the bike. → Very likely — sudden bump → loss of control → fall.
3. the bike was lost. → Too extreme. One rock doesn’t make a bike disappear.
4. a cat jumped on the bike. → Random and unrelated.
✔ Best answer: 2. Cam fell off the bike.
---
Situation C:
> Michael and Tony were playing catch. Tony was standing outside Mrs. B’s window. He reached high to catch the ball. Unfortunately, Tony missed the ball and...
We know:
- Tony is right next to Mrs. B’s window.
- He reaches up to catch the ball → meaning the ball is flying near the window.
- He misses it → so the ball keeps going… where?
Options:
1. danced to the music. → No music mentioned. Irrelevant.
2. it fixed Mrs. B’s window. → How? Missing a ball doesn’t fix anything.
3. it broke Mrs. B’s windowpane. → Very possible — ball flies past Tony → hits window → breaks it.
4. it flew into Tony’s hand. → But it says he *missed* the ball!
✔ Best answer: 3. it broke Mrs. B’s windowpane.
---
Situation D:
> Simone planted jasmine in her backyard and waited for it to blossom. But it did not rain that month and Simone forgot to water the plant. As a result,
We know:
- Plants need water to grow and bloom.
- No rain + forgot to water = plant gets thirsty/dry.
→ Jasmine won’t bloom without water. In fact, it might start dying.
Options:
1. the plant bloomed with jasmines. → Impossible without water.
2. the leaves became dry. → Yes — lack of water → leaves dry out.
3. Simone went to school. → Not related to the plant’s condition.
4. roses grew on the plant. → Jasmine plants don’t grow roses. Also, no water = no growth.
✔ Best answer: 2. the leaves became dry.

A: 1
B: 2

D: 2
