RL.7.1 - Practice

Read the paragraph.

The intercom announced the start of the employee luncheon. Maggie left her desk and joined the long line of people already waiting to serve themselves from the many dishes arranged on a row of tables. As she shuffled in step with her co-workers, Maggie inspected each dish. Pasta with meat sauce. Barbecue pork. Spicy chicken wings. Maggie was conscious of her empty plate, because she knew her co-workers had spent a lot of time cooking these dishes. She knew she would have to be satisfied with salad, steamed veggies, and some potato chips.

Which is most likely true about Maggie?

• She did not bring a dish.

• She does not eat meat.

• She does not usually eat lunch.

• She is not very hungry.

Justine ran down the sidewalk yelling, "Wait! Wait!" It was no use; the bus was gone, and with it, her last chance of getting to school on time. Mary Ann Renaldo was sitting on the bench. "The next one is in 15 minutes," she said. "It doesn't matter," said Justine, sitting down, "I'm cooked." Mr. Matthews, the principal, had told her a month ago that she had run out of chances.
