Explanation:
We need to read each passage and identify:
- The
problem (what the character is struggling with or what needs fixing)
- The
solution (what the character does or decides to do to fix it)
Let’s go one by one:
1.
Passage 1:

→

Passage 2:
- Emily’s mom couldn’t drive her, but she had to get to school on time.
→
Problem: Emily needs to get to school on time, but her mom can’t drive her.

Solution: She walks to school.
3.
Passage 3:
- Mrs. Anderson wanted a fresh pineapple for her cake, but the first store didn’t have any.
→
Problem: The first store didn’t have fresh pineapples.

→
Solution: She bought a pineapple at a different store.
4.
Passage 4:
- Robert was afraid the flooding river would reach his home, so he and his sister rode to the top of the hill.
→
Problem: Robert fears the flood will reach his home.

Now, we write each problem and solution clearly in the correct columns.
