Students complete nine conclusion sentences involving a quiet sign, Rosa's beach bag, and face-down test papers. The matching activity connects four scenarios — a raised hand, a chef adding salt, pre-race stretching, and a boy bringing flowers — to conclusions about eagerness, flavor preference, injury prevention, and affection.
Drawing conclusions from everyday scenarios prepares students to apply the same inferencing process to more complex passages.

Making Inferences and Drawing Conclusions
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The librarian put a "Quiet Please" sign on the door. People were probably being too loud.
2. Rosa packed sunscreen, a towel, and a swimsuit. She is most likely going to the beach.
3. The teacher handed back the tests face down. The scores were probably lower than expected.
4. Jake kept glancing at the clock during class. He was probably waiting for the bell to ring.
5. The birds suddenly flew away from the feeder. A predator probably scared them.
6. All the seats in the auditorium were taken. The event must be very popular.
7. The mechanic wiped grease from his hands and closed the hood. He had just finished repairing the car.
8. Liam frowned and crossed his arms after hearing the decision. He was unhappy with the outcome.
9. The garden was full of weeds and the fence was broken. The yard had not been maintained in a long time.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
