Let’s go step by step through each question based on the story “Frog Day.”

---

Question 1: Sam looked at a poster on the library wall.
→ The story says: *“After school, Sam looked at a poster on the library wall.”*
→ So this is True.

---

Question 2: What was in the poster?
→ The story says: *“It said that help was needed to clean up the pond at Sun Park on Frog Day. The frogs were dying. So Sam wrote down the telephone number from the poster.”*
→ So the poster had:
- A message asking for help to clean the pond at Sun Park on Frog Day
- Info that frogs were dying
- A telephone number

We can write a simple answer like:
*The poster said help was needed to clean the pond at Sun Park on Frog Day because the frogs were dying. It also had a phone number.*

Question 3: What did Mr. Johnson give to them?
→ The story says: *“He gave out some plastic bags, nets, buckets, and rubber gloves.”*
→ Then later: *“Mr. Johnson gave each child a plastic bag full of tadpoles.”*
→ So he gave two things:
First — tools (plastic bags, nets, buckets, rubber gloves)
Then — plastic bags with tadpoles

But since the question says “give to them” (plural), it probably means the first set of items given to the group. But let’s check context.

Actually, reading carefully:
“He gave out some plastic bags, nets, buckets, and rubber gloves.” → This is what he gave to the groups to do their jobs.
Then later: “gave each child a plastic bag full of tadpoles” → that’s separate.

Since question 3 comes before question 5 (which asks about the big plastic bag), question 3 likely refers to the tools.

So best answer:
*Mr. Johnson gave them plastic bags, nets, buckets, and rubber gloves.*

---

Question 4: What did Sam’s group do?
→ Story says: *“Sam’s group had to pick up litter around the pond.”*
→ Simple and direct.

Answer: *Sam’s group picked up litter around the pond.*

---

Question 5: What was in the big plastic bag?
→ Story says: *“Mr. Johnson gave each child a plastic bag full of tadpoles.”*
→ And then they let the tadpoles go in the pond.

Options:
a. Fish
b. Tadpoles ← correct
c. Turtles

Answer: b. Tadpoles

---
