READ THE PASSAGE
At the museum, Arlo saw a model of an old waterwheel. A label explained how moving water turned the wheel. He sketched its shape, then asked the guide why the paddles were spaced around its edge.
What did Arlo do before asking the guide?
- Turned off the water
- Bought a model
- Painted the paddles
- Sketched the wheel’s shape
See the answer & why
Sketched the wheel’s shape
The text says he sketched its shape, then asked the question.
A little hint: Read the passage again. Which sentence gives the detail in the question?
A teaching tip
Let the learner reread. Ask which sentence supports the answer instead of rewarding a guess from general knowledge.
