What’s included

A question asking where a robotics team tested its cart selects in the gym from a sentence that also gives a date and a reason. Another sentence identifies Theo as the person who checked the wheels. When the robotics question changes to why, the demonstration chooses the flooded yard instead of the date or an unstated explanation. The closing sentence is “The hour alone was a welcome island of quiet in my noisy day.”

You’ll leave with these skills

  1. Find the detail that answers the exact question asked
  2. Tell the cause a passage gives from one it rules out
  3. Judge a statement by its role, not its place in the passage
