About This Quiz
Reading Comprehension Quizzes & Trivia

This is a third grade selection test for the HM Theme 6-Sel2 Poppa's New Pants story in the CST format.

2. Read this sentence.
“They look real nice, Poppa,” I said, “but they must have been _______ for a giant!  They’re way _____ long for you.”
Which pair of words makes the sentence correct?

Explanation

The sentence is talking about something being too long for the speaker's Poppa. The word "made" fits in the context because it implies that the objects were created or constructed, which would make sense in relation to their size. The word "too" is also appropriate because it indicates that the objects are excessively long for Poppa. Therefore, the pair of words "made, too" makes the sentence correct.

Submit

The group of words "arthritis, mended, pallet, pants" is in alphabetical order because when arranged in alphabetical order, the words appear as "arthritis, mended, pallet, pants".

Submit
4. Read this passage.
After awhile, the moon crept into the room, making a big pool of bright, white light by the rocking chair.  I jumped when a tree limb scraped against the window screen.  I was just drifting off to sleep when I spotted something out of the corner of my eye.
What is the main idea of this selection?

Explanation

The main idea of this selection is that George, who is not used to sleeping in the kitchen, becomes afraid of the things he sees and hears. The passage describes how the moonlight and the sound of a tree limb scraping against the window screen startle George, and how he becomes even more fearful when he sees something out of the corner of his eye. This suggests that George is not comfortable or familiar with his surroundings, leading to his fear and unease.

Submit
5. Which encyclopedia volume could you use if you wanted to find out about sewing? 

Explanation

Volume XVII Se-Ta would be the most appropriate encyclopedia volume to find information about sewing. This is because it covers topics starting from "Se" to "Ta", which indicates that it includes information related to sewing. The other volumes mentioned do not specifically mention sewing in their range of topics.

Submit
6. Which word is a main heading for the other three words?

Explanation

The word "body" is a main heading for the other three words because it encompasses and includes all of them. The face, arms, and legs are all parts of the body, so "body" is the most general and overarching term that encompasses them all.

Submit
7. Read this sentence from the passage.
Big Mama and Aunt Viney come for a visit.  
Which of the following shows the correct tense for the underlined verb?

Explanation

The correct tense for the underlined verb is "were coming." This is because the sentence is referring to an action that happened in the past, and the past continuous tense is used to indicate an ongoing action in the past.

Submit
8. Read the following passage.  
Grandma Tiny, Big Mama, and Aunt Viney usually have a good long gossip spell when they get together. But this time, the three women quietly finished their chores and turned in for the night.
What can we infer from the above passage as to why the women didn’t do what they normally do?  

Explanation

The passage states that the women "quietly finished their chores and turned in for the night." This suggests that they were tired from cleaning house and traveling all day, as indicated in the correct answer.

Submit
9. George is afraid of the white shapes that he sees.  What would have MOST likely have happened if he had been in his room instead of on the floor in the kitchen? 

Explanation

If George had been in his room instead of on the floor in the kitchen, it is likely that he would not have seen the shapes moving around. This suggests that the shapes were only visible from the kitchen area, and being in a different room would have prevented George from seeing them.

Submit
10. Which of the following words is NOT and adjective?

Explanation

The word "mended" is not an adjective because it is the past tense of the verb "mend". Adjectives describe or modify nouns, while verbs indicate actions or states of being. Therefore, "mended" does not fit the criteria of an adjective in this context.

Submit
11. Read this sentence. 
My mouth drop open.  So these were the ghosts that haunt me last night! 
Which of the following shows the correct tense for the underlined verbs?

Explanation

The sentence is written in the past tense, as indicated by the word "last night." Therefore, the correct tense for the underlined verbs should also be in the past tense. "Dropped" is the past tense of "drop," and "were haunting" is the past continuous tense of "haunt." This combination correctly conveys the action of the speaker's mouth dropping open in the past, and the ghosts haunting the speaker in the past.

Submit
