Question 1: Inference from clues

At the school fair, Nia stood behind a tray of seedlings. She had written each plant's name in tiny letters. Visitors leaned forward, then walked on. Nia replaced the labels with larger ones. Soon a visitor pointed to a label and asked to buy a plant.

Why did Nia most likely replace the labels?

1. To show that the plants had become more expensive.
2. To make the plant names easier for visitors to read.
3. To help the seedlings grow more quickly.
4. To tell visitors that only large plants were for sale.

Question 2: Inference about character

When the rain stopped, Sam hurried outside to check the new garden bed. Water still pooled beside it. He fetched a spade, then paused. Instead of digging straight away, he drew a line in the damp soil and watched where a small cup of water flowed.

What does Sam's action suggest about his approach to the problem?

1. He wants to test an idea before changing the garden.
2. He has decided the garden needs no changes.
3. He is trying to fill the garden bed with water.
4. He knows exactly where to dig already.

Question 3: Purpose of wording

A sign beside a walking track reads: 'Young trees are growing here. Please stay on the path so their roots have room to spread.'

2. To tell walkers where to collect young trees.
3. To warn that the path will soon be closed.
4. To describe how tall the trees are now.
