Choose the best theme for this passage. Even though Greg had been looking forward to his best friend’s party for over a month, he knew his grandma would really love to see him. “It’s your choice, Greg. Grandma is really sick, but I know you’ve been very excited about this party,” said his mom. Most of his class was planning on going to the party and he knew it would be so much fun! After some thought, though, Greg knew exactly what he was going to do. “It’s not like this is the last party that I’ll ever be invited to and grandma would be so sad if I didn’t come,” said Greg. “Plus, I always like making her smile.”

Trust in your friends and they will help you.

Choose the best theme for this passage. One minute we were goofing around and having fun and the next thing I knew, Hank’s body soared over the top of the patio and suddenly his life was in danger. With fingers grasped tightly on the railing, he desperately cried for help. I watched his grip slowly slip away and knew that a 40-foot plunge to the ground could be disastrous. Without stopping to consider my own safety, I jumped into action. My heart pounded through my chest and fear pulsed through my veins as I clutched his hands and pulled up as hard as I could.

People should only play around inside.

If you play rough, you should wear a helmet at all times.
