Willem looked at the sky and kept on biking. He knew he would have to stop soon to put on his jacket, but he wasn't going to turn around just yet. As the wheels spun quickly beneath him and his heart rate increased, he began to feel drops of water on his head. He reached up to wipe the moisture away and checked the sky once more. No rain yet. He pushed on.

• Willem is far away from his home, and a storm is coming.
• Willem is riding his bike at the park. 
• Willem is riding his bike in the middle of a rainstorm. 
• Willem has never ridden his bike in rain before.

Mom had been late picking up the kids from school because she had to get gas on the way home from work. The gas station was in the opposite direction of the grocery store, she she didn't have anything to cook for dinner, either. As the kids argued in the back seat, mom looked at the clock and knew it was way past dinner time. She came to the stop light and eyed the Pizza Hut down the street. 
How might mom solve the problem she faces?

• Mom can turn the car around and go back to the grocery store.
• Mom can go home and hope there is food in the pantry. 
• Mom can go pick up some pizza for dinner.
• Mom can tell the kids they are going to make sandwiches from dinner at home.

Wyatt's dog was very picky about his food, but he was determined to get him to eat only dog food. No more scraps from the table, and no more fancy wet dog food mixed in with the dry dog food. For days and days, Wyatt gave the dog only dog food, and the dog just barely nibbled on it. Wyatt became concerned, so he knew he had to do something. When the dog wasn't looking, Wyatt buried a piece of crispy bacon in the bottom of the food dish and set it down. The dog went crazy sniffing and whining for the bacon. Suddenly, he realized that the only way to get to the bacon was to eat the dog food...
What can you infer about the success of Wyatt's solution?

• The dog will be mad that Wyatt tried to trick him and he won't eat the food.
• The dog will want only bacon from now on. 
• The dog will finally eat the food because he wants the bacon.
• The dog will eat the bacon only, and leave the food in the bowl. 

Macey's mom noticed that she was squinting as she read her book, which was only a few inches away from her face. She scheduled a doctor's appointment for the next week, and when the doctor said Macey needed glasses, she tried on every single pair in the office. After spending an hour looking at glasses, mom suggested that perhaps she should sleep on it and come back and decide in the morning. Macey agreed, but she kept talking about the pros and cons of each pair all night long. 
What can you infer about Macey?

• She likes to waste her mom's time. 
• She is picky because she doesn't want glasses. 
• She liked some of the glasses, but she has trouble making decisions. 
• She wants her mom to pick the glasses for her.
