Here are the step-by-step solutions for the questions in your worksheet.
Question 1
*
Reasoning: The text uses words like "first" and "next" to tell you the order of steps to do something (making a sock monkey). When a text lists steps in an order, it is called a sequence.
*
Answer: B (sequence)
Question 2
*
Reasoning: This paragraph lists facts about what gorillas look like (long arms, brownish-gray color) and how they act (shy, active during the day). It is painting a picture with words. This structure is called description.
*
Answer: B (description)
Question 3
*
Reasoning: A Venn Diagram consists of two overlapping circles. It is the standard tool used to show what is similar (in the middle) and what is different (on the sides) between two things.
*
Answer: A (Venn Diagram)
Question 4
*
Reasoning: The text looks at monkeys and gorillas together. It says how they are the same ("Both... are mammals") and how they are different ("monkeys live in trees, but gorillas spend most of their time on the ground"). This is comparing and contrasting.
*
Answer: D (compare and contrast)
Question 5
*
Reasoning: The sentence explains that one thing happened (logging/destruction) which *caused* another thing to happen (monkeys becoming endangered). When a text explains why something happened, it is cause and effect.
