Question 1 of 3
Read the excerpt below:
Sam the squirrel looked at the high branch. Even though the wind was strong, he leapt onto the branch and rescued the baby bird that had fallen. Sam liked to collect acorns for the winter. Sam often shared his nuts with his friends. Sam watched the clouds and sang a song.

Question 2 of 3
Read the passage below:
Maria loved to read books about faraway places. Every afternoon, she would sit by the window and turn the pages, imagining herself walking through bustling markets and quiet forests. Her friends often invited her to play soccer after school, but Maria preferred to stay inside with her stories. Sometimes, she felt a little sad because she missed having someone to share her adventures with.
Which sentence from the passage best supports the statement that Maria sometimes feels lonely?
Question 3 of 3
Read the passage below:
"Butterflies go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The tiny egg is laid on a leaf. When the egg hatches, a caterpillar, called a larva, emerges and spends weeks eating leaves. After it is big enough, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis, or pupa, and inside the chrysalis it changes into a butterfly. When the adult butterfly emerges, it has colorful wings and can fly to find flowers."
Which sentence from the passage best supports the claim that a butterfly undergoes a dramatic change during its life?
