Practice using R.A.C.E. - Passage: Anna loved visiting her grandmother's farm every summer. Her favorite part was the large apple tree in the backyard. She loved how its branches stretched out like open arms, offering shade and a cool place to rest during hot days. One day, Anna noticed that the apples on the tree were falling faster than usual, and some looked brown and bruised. Worried, Anna told her grandmother, who smiled and said, "That old tree just needs a little care." Together, they worked to water the roots and prune the tree. By the end of the summer, the tree was once again full of bright, red apples, ready to be picked.

Restate: Restate the question in the answer.

Answer: Clearly explain how Anna acts responsibly.
