Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the best answer based on what makes sense from the clues given.

---

Question 1:

Clues:
- It’s a computer (not an animal or person).
- Has keys, screen, mouse — so it’s not just any object.
- Doesn’t have a tail → rules out animals.
- Can’t walk or talk → again, not alive.
- You use it to do work or play games → fits a computer.

Best conclusion: b. It is a computer.

✔ That matches all the clues perfectly.

Question 2:

Clues:
- Alex is holding up a single book.
- Page says “How to Train Your Dragon” with a picture of a dragon.
- He has a backpack full of books.

What can we conclude?

a. Family pictures → No mention of family or photos.
b. School project → Possible, but no direct clue about school.
c. A new novel → The title sounds like a storybook/novel, and he’s reading it. Also, backpack full of books suggests he likes reading stories.

Best choice: c. A new novel

✔ “How to Train Your Dragon” is actually a famous children’s novel series — so this fits.

Question 3:

Julia baked her mom, sister, and dad cookies for Mother’s Day. She placed them on the table, then went outside to play. When she came back, the plate was empty except for crumbs. Dad said he saw the dog licking its lips near the table.

Who ate the cookies?

a. Julia put them in her room → But they were on the table, and now gone.
b. Her sister took them → No evidence pointing to sister.
c. The dog ate them → Dad saw the dog acting guilty (licking lips) near where cookies were. Crumbs left behind = likely eaten by someone/something messy → dog fits.

Best choice: c. The dog ate them

✔ Most logical based on the clue about the dog.

Question 4:

Eight people carrying large objects into a house. One carries a big box labeled “Fragile.” Another holds a lamp. Third has a pillow. Fourth has a suitcase. Fifth has a plant. Sixth has a painting. Seventh has a rug. Eighth has a teddy bear.

They are moving things into a house. What are they most likely doing?

a. Going fishing → Doesn’t match items being carried.
b. Moving furniture → Yes! All these items (lamp, pillow, suitcase, plant, painting, rug, teddy bear, fragile box) are typical household goods moved when changing homes.
c. Cleaning after winter → Not really related to carrying stuff inside.
d. Building a treehouse → Too small-scale; doesn’t fit all those items.

Best choice: b. Moving furniture

✔ Even though some aren’t technically “furniture,” together they suggest moving into a home.

Question 5:

We made our own recipe that didn’t turn out right. We tried adding more sugar, then less flour, then baking longer. Still bad. Then we realized—we forgot the eggs!

What should we try next time?

a. Add more salt → Salt isn’t mentioned as missing.
b. Use chocolate chips instead → Changing flavor won’t fix structural problem.
c. Remember to add eggs → They figured out the mistake was forgetting eggs. So next time, don’t forget them!
d. Bake at higher temp → Temperature wasn’t the issue identified.

Best choice: c. Remember to add eggs

✔ Directly solves the problem they discovered.
