As I walked in the door, I was amazed at the beautiful colors and smells. I knew it would be hard to decide what I would buy with my $3. The chocolate truffles looked delicious, but they were expensive. The jelly beans were not only cheaper, but so colorful! With so much to choose from, I knew I would be here a long time. Where am I?

• Gas station
• Candy store
• Grocery store
• Shoe store

Rachel was on her way to volunteer at the animal shelter. She was very excited! She really liked dogs. Her brother was allergic to dogs, however, so she was rarely around them. Rachel had a lot of fun playing with the puppies. But after her shift, itchy bumps appeared on her arms.

It is likely that:

• Mosquitoes bit Rachel

• Rachel is allergic to dogs, too

• Rachel fell in poison ivy

• Her brother is there too.

The floorboards creaked, trees whipped against the old tin roof and flashes of light lit up the entire night sky. I could feel the eerie feeling rise up from deep inside me, as I tiptoed down the hall into my parent’s bedroom.

Who is tiptoeing down the hall?

• There is a ghost going down the hallway.

• The parents are going down the hall to check on their child.

• The family pet in walking down the hallway.

• A child is going down the hall to their parent's room because they are afraid of the storm.
