Let’s go through each question one by one and think carefully about what makes sense.

Question 1:
Lily baked brownies, put them in the oven, went outside to swim for a long time, and forgot all about them. We’re asked: which phrase is
NOT a clue to predict what will happen next?
We know that if you leave something in the oven too long and forget it, it burns. So clues that help us predict that are:
- “for a long time” → means they were in the oven too long
- “forgot about the brownies” → she didn’t take them out
- “swam in the pool” → explains why she was gone so long
But “put them” — just putting them in the oven doesn’t tell us anything bad will happen. That’s normal baking behavior. So this is NOT a clue to predict disaster.

Question 2:
John ate A LOT of sweet foods: 3 chocolate bars, a dozen candies, sugar-coated nuts. What could possibly happen?
Too much sugar can cause tooth pain (toothache), especially before bed when you don’t brush right away. Back pains? Not related. Sleepy? Maybe, but not directly from sugar. Headache? Possible, but less common than toothache after eating lots of candy.
The most direct and likely result of eating so much sugar is a toothache.
✔ Answer: C

Question 3:
Tony took a shower, wore his P.E. uniform, sat at a table, opened his laptop, and put on a headset.
What’s he doing?
P.E. uniform might be confusing — maybe he just changed into comfy clothes? But then he opens laptop + headset = likely online class or meeting. Watching TV? No headset needed usually. Playing with neighbors? Doesn’t fit. Going to school? He’s already home sitting down.
So best guess: online class.
✔ Answer: C

Question 4:
Jenny forgot to close the gate. What may happen next?
If the gate is open, her dog might run out. Nobody entering? Unlikely — gates being open usually lets things OUT or IN. Gate broken? No reason to think that. Mom happy? Probably not — she’d worry!
Most logical: dog escapes.
✔ Answer: A

Question 5:
When we predict, we make a ______.
Predicting means guessing what will happen based on clues. It’s not a sequence (that’s order of events). Not a description (that’s telling what something is like). Not a transition (that’s moving between ideas).
It’s a GUESS — an educated one, but still a guess.
✔ Answer: C

Question 6:
When making predictions, we need to look for ______.
This cuts off, but looking at the pattern, the answer should be “clues”. Because predictions are made using hints or evidence from the text.
Even though option B says “sequence”, that’s not the main thing — clues are key.
Assuming the full options are:
A) clues
B) sequence
Then A is correct.
✔ Answer: A
