Try a sample Characters, events and settings question
Question 1 — Easy
Jake had been practising his spelling every day for a week. On the morning of the test, he walked into the classroom, sat at his desk, and opened his pencil case. He was smiling. What does Jake's behaviour MOST suggest?
Answer: Option B is correct — Jake practised every day and is smiling as he sits down. Practising hard and then smiling on test day suggests he feels ready.
Question 2 — Medium
Rufus the dog always ran to the door when he heard his owner's keys. But one afternoon, Rufus lay still on his bed and did not move, even when the keys jangled loudly. What does Rufus's behaviour MOST suggest?
Answer: Option B is correct — Rufus always ran to the door at the sound of keys. Not doing so when the keys jangled loudly — and lying still — suggests something is physically wrong: he is unwell or too tired to react normally.
Question 3 — Hard
Jasmine had always wanted a pet. One day, her parents surprised her with a small fluffy rabbit. She named it Snowball because of its white fur. Jasmine learned how to feed Snowball pellets and fresh vegetables. She made sure Snowball always had fresh water. Every afternoon, she let Snowball hop around the backyard. Snowball loved to dig in the garden and nibble on the grass. Why did Jasmine name her rabbit Snowball?
Answer: The passage says 'She named it Snowball because of its white fur'. The other options are not in the passage and are invented.
