Which two sentences from "My Trip to the City Aquarium" best support the inference that the aquarium was different from what the narrator had thought it would be? Most of the class was excited to find out we were going on a field trip to an aquarium. I was not. I had never been to an aquarium, so I didn't know what to expect. But something about the idea of spending a day looking at giant tanks filled with slimy creatures and fish did not excite me. I knew I had to go; plus, my parents had always told me to learn about new things. I agreed with them. I decided I would try to be positive. I liked the idea of learning something new. We boarded the bus and headed downtown, where the aquarium was located. When the bus pulled up to the building, I thought we were just stopping for a minute. Then I saw the sign that read "City Aquarium." I was amazed at the size of the building. It was massive with giant white pillars and wide stone steps. I wondered why they put fish in such a big building. It looked more like a state capitol building than an aquarium. When we went inside, we were given our tickets. Because we were a school group, we each received a small souvenir. It was a postcard with a picture of a shiny queen angelfish that is bright blue and yellow. I was surprised at how pretty the fish was. As we moved into the giant building, our teachers had us get into groups. My group went down the first hallway toward a reef exhibit. At that point, I had no idea what to expect, but when we walked in, I was amazed! It was as if we were in the tank ourselves. The tank went from floor to ceiling and stretched down the entire hallway. It even went over our heads and under our feet. There were sharks above us and stingrays below us! I had never been so close to these unbelievable creatures. The sharks' skin looked like smooth leather as they quickly glided above us. The rest of the aquarium, including a three-story tank, was just as fascinating. I never knew there were so many types of marine life living in different habitats. The colors of the coral and plant life were indescribable, as every color of the rainbow was present. I will never forget my trip to the aquarium. It taught me to be open to new experiences, because there are some incredibly interesting things there. It also taught me that just because I don't know about something, it doesn't mean that I won't enjoy learning about it.

1) I decided I would try to be positive. 2) At that point, I had no idea what to expect, but when we walked in, I was amazed.

1) I decided I would try to be positive. 2) We boarded the bus and headed downtown, where the aquarium was located.

1) We boarded the bus and headed downtown, where the aquarium was located. 2) It looked more like a state capitol building than an aquarium.

1) As we moved into the giant building, our teachers had us get into groups. 2) When we went inside, we were given our tickets.

Read the third paragraph from "My Trip to the City Aquarium." We boarded the bus and headed downtown, where the aquarium was located. When the bus pulled up to the building, I thought we were just stopping for a minute. Then I saw the sign that read "City Aquarium." I was amazed at the size of the building. It was massive with giant white pillars and wide stone steps. I wondered why they put fish in such a big building. It looked more like a state capitol building than an aquarium. How does the paragraph add to the plot of the passage?

It provides details about what happens during the bus ride to the aquarium.

It shows how the narrator feels about what is learned during aquarium field trips.

It provides details about what is inside the aquarium.

It shows that the narrator may find something interesting on the field trip.
