Game 3: Noting Details

• Read the passage. Answer each question in a complete sentence.

The first trick-or-treaters were poor children in medieval Europe, who would go door-to-door begging for food and money during the Celtic holiday Samhain — celebrated on October 31. In exchange, they would offer to pray for the souls of their neighbors' recently departed loved ones.

The 19th century introduced the offering of nuts and fruits to trick-or-treaters — especially apples. It started with the ​ancient Roman harvest festival of Pomona, named after the goddess of fruitful abundance, which took place on November 1.
