Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Maya was cleaning out an old box in the attic when she found a small, rusty key. She tried it on every lock in the house, but nothing fit. "This key is useless," she told her mom, tossing it into a drawer.

Years passed, and Maya forgot about the key completely. One summer, while clearing out the storage room, she noticed something tucked behind an old wardrobe — a small wooden box covered in dust.

She pulled it out and searched for a way to open it. There was a tiny keyhole, but she had nothing to unlock it with. Suddenly, she remembered the old key. She ran to find it, her hands trembling as she slid it into the lock. It turned perfectly, and the lock clicked open.

Inside were dozens of old letters tied together with a faded ribbon. They were love letters written between her grandparents when they were young, and no one in the family had ever known they existed.

Why does the author mention that Maya's hands were trembling?

  • To explain why the lock was hard to open
  • To show that the storage room was very cold
  • To prove that she was afraid of the dark
  • To express her strong feeling of excitement

Based on the passage, what can we understand about the letters?

  • They were written by Maya's grandparents to her mother.

  • They were heavily damaged over time.

  • They were kept as a secret for many years.
  • They were mentioned once in the family's gathering.

What did Maya initially think about the rusty key?

  • It had no practical purpose at all.
  • It belonged to her grandparents.
  • It was a beautiful piece of art.
  • It could open every door in the house.

Read the letter. Then answer the questions.

Dear Hannah,

I am writing to thank you for reaching out to Books for Kids about your plan to organize a book collection drive at your school. Millions of children around the world lack access to storybooks because buying new ones is far too expensive. A single donated book can open up new worlds and spark a lifelong love for reading. Our foundation collects over one million gently used books every year for rural school libraries. We accept picture books, storybooks, and simple readers. However, we only share items that are in clean, readable condition, while badly torn copies are recycled.

Because you are eager to start immediately, I have mailed you a starter kit to help you begin smoothly. Inside, you will find promotional posters, box stickers, announcement scripts, and reading bookmarks. Please call me if you need any extra assistance.

Sincerely,

David Ross

What is the main purpose of David's letter?

  • To ask her for a donation of new textbooks

  • To invite her to work for his charity foundation

  • To complain about damaged books sent to rural areas

  • To thank her and support her school book drive

Which item is NOT included in the starter kit?

  • Posters

  • Letters

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Deep in the rainforests of South America grows a strange tree called the walking palm, or Socratea exorrhiza. Its roots do not go into the ground like normal trees. Instead, thin roots stick out high above the soil, like long legs.

For many years, people told an exciting story about this tree, claiming that it could slowly "walk" across the forest floor. According to the story, new roots would grow toward the sunlight while old roots on the other side would die, and over many years, the tree seemed to move to a better spot.

But is this true? Scientists wanted to find out. In 2005, a biologist named Gerardo Avalos marked several walking palms and studied them for years. What he found was surprising: the trees never actually moved, and their trunks stayed in exactly the same place.

Since rainforest soil is often wet and soft, the tall, spreading roots probably just help the tree stay strong and stable so that it doesn't fall over. The walking palm cannot walk, but its unusual roots are still amazing.

What is the main idea of the passage?

  • How rainforest soil affects plant roots
  • A popular tree legend proven false by science
  • A biologist who discovered a new tree species
  • The exciting stories about South American forests

Which of the following is NOT true, based on the passage?

  • The walking palm's roots grow above the soil.
  • Avalos studied the trees over several years.
  • The trees were recorded to move several meters by locals.
  • The story about the walking tree was widely believed.

What did Avalos's research conclude?

  • The trees moved a few centimeters each year.
  • The trees moved faster in wetter soil.
  • The trees moved only when roots died off.
  • The trees stayed fixed in one place over time.

Why does the passage mention that rainforest soil is "often wet and soft"?

  • To explain why the tree's spreading roots may be useful.
  • To suggest that the tree struggles to survive in the rainforest.
  • To explain why old roots on the tree eventually die off.
  • To compare rainforest soil with soil in other environments.

In the passage, the word "strange" is closest in meaning to:

  • dangerous
  • colorful
  • odd
  • tall
