MAP Growth Practice Test 2nd Grade - MAP Reading
Read the passage to answer the question below.
Today was a wonderful day. In the morning, all the kids in our school went to help out in the community. One class went to help tidy up the town library, another class went to plant flowers in a public garden, and my class went to help serve lunch in a home for the elderly. When we got back to school, the principle spoke to us and said it's great that we can be a meaningful part of society from an early age.
After school, I went to my friend Jenna's place. She's our neighbor. Her big brother made pizzas for us, and we ate them in a tent they put up in the living room. It was such a fun day.
Which of the following statements is true?
A. All of the kids in the school cleaned the library.
B. The narrator of the story planted flowers.
C. The narrator’s class served food to the elderly.
D. Jenna made pizza after helping out in the community.
Answer
The correct answer is (C).
The narrator is the person telling the story, and this person says directly in the third sentence, “...my class went to help serve lunch in a home for the elderly,” so we know that answer (C) is correct. (A) is incorrect because while all of the kids helped out in the community, different ones did different things, and only some of them cleaned the library. (B) is incorrect because the narrator’s group was not the one that went to plant flowers, as the narrator writes, “...another class went to plant flowers...” (D) is incorrect because Jenna did not make the pizza—her brother did—and we do not even know if Jenna went to the school that helped out in the community.
