The second hard sheet uses a passage about penguins to stretch comprehension further. Four multiple choice questions ask kindergartners to find the main idea, choose the detail that explains how penguins stay warm, and spot a sentence that does NOT belong in the passage. Five fill-in-the-blank questions reinforce that every supporting detail must connect to the topic, and that off-topic sentences should not appear in a well-written passage.
