Multiple Choice

Darius was hurrying to history when he spotted two friends walking in front of him. Instead of slowing down, he shoved past them to get ahead. One of the boys stumbled into the lockers with a loud bang. A teacher stepped out of her classroom door just in time to see it. “That is unsafe and disrespectful,” she said, stopping Darius on the spot. Because this was not his first hallway incident, he was assigned cafeteria cleanup instead of recess. After lunch, he was given gloves and a trash grabber and told to collect every scrap of trash under the tables. As he picked up crumpled napkins and sticky straw wrappers, he replayed the shove in his mind and realized how fast one bad choice could lead to a long consequence.

Why did Darius get stopped by the teacher in the hallway?

• He was yelling loudly

• He was running late to class

• He pushed past other students

• He dropped his books
