Cameron threw the rope into the field. It landed near the river. Spot did not wait for the rope to land. She ran out into the field and picked the rope up off the ground with her teeth. If she had been a little bit faster, she might have beaten the rope to its landing spot. She brought the rope back to Cameron, released it, and then started barking. Cameron patted Spot on the head and praised her. Then he wound up and threw the rope as hard as he could. The wind must have caught the rope too, because it just kept moving. It landed in the middle of the river...

What is likely to happen next?

• Spot will probably jump in the water to get the rope and get all wet.

• Spot will get tired of playing fetch.

• Spot will attack Cameron.

• Spot will go to the vet.

"You have to water the tomatoes in the morning, not afternoon or night," Veronica told her brother AJ. He nodded, but it didn't really look like he was paying attention. "They need to have water all day, so please water them in the morning," she added. She was traveling out of the country for two weeks and was counting on AJ to water her plants. While she was gone, AJ stopped by the garden once or twice at the start of the first week, and then he lost interest. When Veronica finally returned, the first thing she did was check out her garden.

What is she most likely to see in the garden?

• The plants probably look great and healthy.

• The plants are probably all dead or dying.

• AJ has probably taken all the plants to his house.

• A raccoon has probably eaten all the plants.

Tex opened the can of peaches with his knife and cooked them over the fire. After he ate, he took off his boots and unrolled his blanket. He didn't mind sleeping under the stars. During the night, a scorpion found itself next to Tex. Unlike Tex, the scorpion did not want to sleep under the stars. He liked small, dark places.

What is likely to happen next?

• Tex will eat more peaches for breakfast.

• Tex will go back to sleep.

• The scorpion in Tex's boot will sting him.
