“A dare is a dare,” Ben heard his friend Tony say behind him as he walked up the creaking steps. The October wind started blowing harder the closer Ben got to the front door. Old, grey wood covered in spider webs surrounded him. There’s no way out this now, he thought. Why did I make up that story in the first place? “Come on, man!” Tony called to Ben. “I don’t have all day!” Ben glanced down at the rusted, metal door handle. He could see teeny bumps covering his skin like the chicken he sometimes saw his mom making for dinner. He closed his eyes, grabbed the cold, metal handle, and pushed the door open.

what Tony does after Ben goes inside the old house.

When I lifted the toilet lid, a grey tree frog stared back at me. He spread his long, wide fingers to keep himself on the side of the toilet bowl, right at the edge of the water. He didn't stay there for long, though, because the minute he saw me, he leaped out of the toiled and onto the wall. I didn't know how he'd gotten there, but I knew he didn't belong. I used both hands to try to scoop him up, but he hopped onto the floor. I closed the bathroom door and ran to find something to catch him in. I tried a cup, but it was too small. I tried a pot, but the frog scooted out from underneath before I could drop it over him. He kept leaping all over! I thought maybe I was scaring him by trying to trap him. I put a paper plate near him and waited for him to jump onto it. When he did, I walked quickly toward the door. He jumped off twice, but each time I got him to hop back onto the plate. Outside side, I finally set the cute tree frog down, and he hopped away. If the passage were written from the frog's point of view, the reader would know...

how the frog originally got into the toilet bowl

what other items might have been used to catch the frog

why the speaker wanted to take the frog outside

Julian had never been in a canoe before, but he wasn't worried at all. He'd ridden in a speedboat and had fun, and he thought this would be just the same. He realized immediately that he was wrong. The minute he stepped into the canoe, it started to wobble. "Sit down!" his cousin Lane told him. "You'll tip us over!" Julian sat in the very center of the seat, afraid to move. "Take a paddle," Lane said. "I have to paddle?" Julian asked. Lane laughed. "If you want to go anywhere, you do." The first time Julian dipped his paddle into the lake, the canoe didn't move at all. The second time, he paddled too hard, and the boat rocked hard to one side. "Easy does it," Lane said, showing him how to paddle smoothly. Julian followed his lead and before long, they were travelling quickly and easily near the shore. In a speedboat you ride along with someone else. In a canoe you are the one driving. Julian decided he liked canoeing the best. Julian is confident that the canoe ride will be easy because...

he thinks the canoe is like a speedboat.

he has no problem getting into the canoe.

the canoe will be powered by him and his cousin.

the canoe wobbles when he steps into it.

At the end of the play, everyone cheered for her, and Lucian did, too. He wanted to apologize, but he didn’t know how to do it.
