Let’s go through each question one by one. We’ll read the paragraph, think about what it’s mostly saying, and then pick the best answer.

Question 1:
Paragraph talks about Scrabble — how it’s fun, challenging, helps you learn new words, and uses letters to build words.
Look at the choices:
- A says “Scrabble is challenging and fun.” → That matches the first sentence!
- B says it’s good for vocabulary → true, but not the main point of the whole paragraph.
- C says it takes skill → not really mentioned.
- D says it takes hours → only says “hours of fun,” not that it *takes* hours to play.
So the main idea is that Scrabble is fun and challenging.
✔ Answer:
A

- B: Slow and steady wins the race → YES! That’s exactly what happened.
