Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

During a pond visit, students saw a small insect with long back legs and a narrow body. Their field guide listed body shape, leg length, and habitat for several pond insects.

BTheir field guide listed body shape, leg length, and habitat for several pond insects.

CThe passage includes general facts about field guide identification.

DThe students compared the insect to the guide and identified it as a water strider.

Solution & Explanation:Choice D is the strongest evidence because it directly supports the stated idea: The students compared the insect to the guide and identified it as a water strider. The other choices are off topic, too general, or do not prove the inference as clearly.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

During a pond visit, students saw a small insect with long back legs and a narrow body. Their field guide listed body shape, leg length, and habitat for several pond insects. The students compared the insect to the guide and identified it as a water strider. The guide also explained that water striders can rest on the surface of calm water.

What can the reader infer from the information given?

AThe students identified the insect without looking at its features.

BThe field guide did not include any information about pond insects.

CThe students used observable details to identify the insect.

DThe insect was identified by its color only, not by habitat or body shape.
