Comprehension - The Bullies - Year 4/5
Narrative Kevin was afraid to go to school. He knew that as soon as he walked through the school gate, someone would be waiting for him. They might grab his schoolbag and hide it, or open it up and scatter all the books in the dirt. Perhaps they might steal the best bits of his lunch and throw the rest in the garbage. Or they might threaten him until he handed over his lunch-order money. Today, they might just trip him up and laugh as he fell.

Sample QuestionThe main point of this passage is that... Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of propellants. Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked permission for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States has taken similar action with various other chemical compounds.
