2nd Grade Theme 2 Skills Test-reading Comprehension

A shopping bag belongs to the group of "things used for carrying". It is used to hold and transport items that have been purchased.

Water and peaches belong to the group of "things to eat and drink". Water is a common beverage consumed by humans, while peaches are a type of fruit that is often eaten. Both water and peaches are items that are consumed for nourishment and hydration.

The sentence "Seeing under the water can be exciting" gives an opinion because it expresses a personal viewpoint or feeling about the activity of seeing under the water.

The answer is "backpack" because it is an item specifically designed for carrying things. Peaches, hand lens, and cap are not typically used for carrying objects.

Caps and sunscreen belong to the group of "safe from the sun things". This group consists of items that provide protection from the sun's rays, such as hats (caps) and sunscreen. These items are essential for preventing sunburn and other harmful effects of sun exposure.

The correct answer is that all the ways to feed birds in the selection are put in a tree. This means that regardless of whether they are made from pine cones, use milk cartons, or must be made with peanuts, they all share the common characteristic of being placed in a tree.

The sentence "I think tadpoles look like little fish" gives an opinion because it expresses a personal belief or viewpoint about tadpoles resembling little fish.

The sentence "The tool makes underwater things look bigger" tells a fact because it states a verifiable and objective statement about the tool's ability to magnify objects underwater.

The sentence "I think it's the best tool to use to see things in the pond" indicates that the statement is an opinion. The use of the word "think" suggests that it is the writer's personal belief or viewpoint rather than a verifiable fact. Opinions are subjective and can vary from person to person, while facts are objective and can be proven or disproven. Therefore, the presence of the phrase "I think" in the sentence indicates that it is an opinion.

Birds must crack the nuts in order to eat them. Unlike the food on the pine cone, which they can easily access, the peanuts require the birds to use their beaks or other tools to crack open the shells and reach the edible part inside.

The sentence "Snails move over the rocks" tells a fact because it states a specific action that snails perform. It does not express an opinion or subjective viewpoint, making it a statement of fact.

The line of circles represents the hiking trail. This can be inferred from the context of the reading comprehension passage on pages 58-59.

The correct answer is "Go down Beach Road." This suggests that to get to the tents, one should take the route along Beach Road. This implies that the tents are located somewhere along Beach Road, and by going down this road, one will reach the desired destination.

The milk carton is different from the pine cone bird feeder because it has a flap. This suggests that the milk carton has a cover or lid that can be opened and closed, while the pine cone bird feeder does not have this feature. The flap on the milk carton may be used to pour milk or other liquids into the carton, or to seal it shut to prevent spills or contamination. The pine cone bird feeder, on the other hand, likely does not require a flap since it is filled with birdseed and does not need to be opened or closed.

The given correct answer is "Both use birdseed." This means that both the pine cone and the milk carton bird feeders require birdseed as the main ingredient to attract and feed birds. Both feeders may have different designs or materials, but the common factor is the use of birdseed to fulfill their purpose of feeding birds.

The map shows Seaside Park.

Yarn is used for all the bird feeders in the selection. This implies that the bird feeders are made using yarn as a material. The passage might have mentioned different materials for different bird feeders, and yarn is the common material used for all of them. The other options, such as milk carton, pine cone, and peanuts, may be mentioned in the passage but are not used for all the bird feeders.

The correct answer is "near Seaside Lane" because the inn is located close to Seaside Lane. This suggests that it is in close proximity to the lane, but not necessarily on the lane itself.

The closest option to the beach would be the tents.
