Students answer four multiple-choice questions about Tara's empty piggy bank, a ranger closing a wildfire-damaged trail, and Derek studying the wrong chapter. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about reading between the lines, inferring character traits from repeated actions, and what text evidence does for an inference.
Passage-based multiple-choice inference questions require students to select the best-supported conclusion from plausible alternatives.
