The word "right" in the first blank means that Mrs. Kemp did not explicitly state this, but it is implied.

Submit
11. Which word is NOT an adverb?

13. Read this passage
“That man paying for our dinner was sort of like a happy ending,” remarked Beezus, as the family, snug in their car, drove through the rain and the dark toward Klickitat Street.  “A happy ending for today,” corrected Ramona.  Tomorrow they would begin all over again.
What is the main idea of this selection?

Explanation

The passage suggests that the family is reflecting on their evening and feeling satisfied with their day. Beezus comments on the man paying for their dinner as a "happy ending," indicating that they had a positive experience. Ramona corrects her by saying it was a happy ending for today, implying that they are looking forward to starting anew tomorrow. This implies that they had a good day and are reflecting on it as they drive home.

Submit
14. Which statement is NOT an opinion?

Explanation

The statement "Picky-picky is the Quimbys’ cat" is not an opinion because it is a factual statement about the ownership of a cat. Opinions are subjective and based on personal beliefs or feelings, whereas this statement is simply stating a fact about a specific cat belonging to a specific family.

Off the Quimbys sped to the nearest Whopperburger, where they discovered other families must have wanted to get out of the house on a rainy day, for the restaurant was crowded, and they had to wait for a table. 
In this passage, how is the Quimby family and other families feeling the same?

Explanation

The correct answer is that they are all feeling frustrated by being in the house because of the rain. This can be inferred from the sentence that mentions how the Quimby family and other families wanted to get out of the house on a rainy day and had to wait for a table at the crowded restaurant.

Explanation

The context clues in the sentence indicate that the family struggled into their wraps and splashed across the parking lot to their car. This suggests that wraps are something that the family would put on before going outside, and they would need to struggle into them. Jackets fit this description, as they are commonly worn to keep warm and protect against the elements when going outside. Therefore, jackets is the correct answer.
