Abel was so jealous of his classmates who all had cell phones. They all sat around with their phones and talked about what they posted on Instagram the previous night. He wanted to be part of the crowd and share cool pictures and talk about what everyone else was up to. He begged his mom, but she said no. He was bummed. A few weeks later, Abel found a gift on his pillow. He opened the box and it was a brand new cell phone. He ran to his mom and gave her a big hug. She told him that she really thought about it and realized what a good kid he was and that he deserved it because she knew he would be responsible. Abel agreed and then ran outside and started to take pictures that he could add to his new Instagram account. At school the following day, he showed all his classmates his new phone. Then he shared his pictures. He had a great time connecting with others.

Abby's dad came out of the room and told her he was moving out. Abby was very upset, but she realized it was for the best. Over the next few weeks, Abby was very sad and she missed her dad, but she could now go into the kitchen without fear and get a snack to eat.

Read the passage. Select the statements that make logical inferences.

A legend is a popular type of folk tale. In some ways, legends resemble myths, another type of folk tale. But myths describe events from antiquity and usually deal with religious subjects, such as the birth of a god. Legends tell of recognizable people, places and events and often take place in comparatively recent times. Some legends are based on real persons or events, but many are entirely fictional. The legends of the superhuman accomplishments of Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill are imaginary, while the legends about Washington and Lincoln are mostly exaggerations of real qualities those two presidents had. All societies have legends. Most legends began as stories about the heroes of a particular region, occupation, or ethnic group. For example, John Henry was a legendary hero of black Americans, and Casey Jones of railroad workers. Over time, however, these figures have become national heroes.
