Questions and Answers
- 1.
A strong wind starts blowing seeds high in
- A.
Autumn
- B.
Spring
- C.
Winter
- D.
Summer
Correct Answer
A. AutumnExplanation
Autumn is the correct answer because it is the season when strong winds commonly occur. During this season, the weather becomes cooler and the leaves on trees start to change color and fall. The change in temperature and the presence of strong winds help to disperse the seeds of plants and trees, allowing them to spread and grow in new areas. Spring, Winter, and Summer do not typically have the same level of strong winds as Autumn, making them less likely to be the correct answer.Rate this question:

The seed that flies too high
- A.
Drowns in the water
- B.
Mouse eats it
- C.
Bird eats it
- D.
Sun burns it
Correct Answer
D. Sun burns itExplanation
The given answer suggests that the seed that flies too high will be burned by the sun. This explanation implies that when the seed reaches a certain altitude, it gets exposed to intense sunlight and heat, causing it to burn and become nonviable. This scenario highlights the harsh conditions that seeds may face when they are carried too high by the wind, ultimately leading to their destruction.Rate this question:

The seed falls on the icy mountain can not grow because
- A.
Ice never melts
- B.
Mouse eats it
- C.
Bird eats it
- D.
Sun burns it
Correct Answer
A. Ice never meltsExplanation
The seed falls on the icy mountain cannot grow because ice never melts. The icy conditions prevent the seed from receiving the necessary moisture and warmth required for germination. Without the melting of the ice, the seed remains dormant and unable to sprout.Rate this question:

The seed can not grow in desert because
- A.
It is hot and dry
- B.
Mouse eats it
- C.
Bird eats it
Correct Answer
A. It is hot and dryExplanation
The correct answer is "it is hot and dry." This explanation suggests that seeds cannot grow in the desert because the environment lacks the necessary moisture for germination and growth. The high temperatures and arid conditions make it difficult for seeds to obtain the water they need to sprout and develop into plants.Rate this question:

The seeds fall gently down because
- A.
Wind stops
- B.
Ice melts
Correct Answer
A. Wind stopsExplanation
When the wind stops, it no longer exerts force on the seeds, allowing them to fall gently down. Without the wind pushing them, the seeds are not carried away and can descend slowly to the ground. This is in contrast to when the wind is blowing, where the seeds would be carried along with it and not fall straight down.Rate this question:

The mouse eats seed in
- A.
Winter
- B.
Summer
- C.
Autumn
- D.
Fall
Correct Answer
A. WinterExplanation
During the winter season, many animals including mice struggle to find food due to the scarcity of vegetation. As a result, they rely on alternative food sources such as seeds to survive. This behavior is a survival strategy for mice during the cold winter months when their usual food supply is limited. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that mice eat seeds in winter.Rate this question:

The snow melts in
- A.
Spring
- B.
Autumn
- C.
Fall
Correct Answer
A. SpringExplanation
The correct answer is spring because it is the season when the snow starts to melt. In spring, the temperature rises, causing the snow to thaw and turn into water. This is a natural process that occurs as the days get longer and warmer. Spring is often associated with the transition from winter to summer, and the melting snow is a clear indication of this change in seasons.Rate this question:

The seeds burst open a little because
- A.
They are dry and full
- B.
They are wet and round
- C.
They grow round and full
Correct Answer
C. They grow round and fullExplanation
The correct answer is "they grow round and full". This is because as seeds mature and develop, they undergo cell division and expansion, resulting in an increase in size and roundness. Additionally, as they grow, they accumulate nutrients and water, leading to their fullness. The bursting open of seeds is a natural process called seed dispersal, where the seeds split open to release their contents and allow for further growth and reproduction.Rate this question:

They are not seeds anymore because
- A.
They are round
- B.
They are full
- C.
They are dry
- D.
They are plants
Correct Answer
D. They are plantsExplanation
The given answer, "They are plants," suggests that the seeds are no longer seeds because they have grown into plants. This explanation implies that the seeds have undergone germination, where they have absorbed water, developed roots, stems, and leaves, and started the process of photosynthesis. As a result, they have transformed from seeds into fully grown plants, indicating that they are no longer in their seed form.Rate this question:

First they send ___________ down to earth.
- A.
Stems
- B.
Roots
- C.
Leaves
Correct Answer
B. RootsExplanation
In order to complete the sentence, the word "roots" is the most appropriate choice. When plants send something "down to earth," it refers to their roots, as roots are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Stems and leaves are not typically sent down to earth, as stems are responsible for supporting the plant and leaves are responsible for photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is "roots."Rate this question:
-
- 11.
Stems and leaves grow towards.
- A.
Sun and air
- B.
Earth
- C.
Water
Correct Answer
A. Sun and airExplanation
Plants grow towards the sun and air because they need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy to fuel their growth. Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to produce glucose, their main source of energy. Additionally, plants require air for respiration, which is the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Therefore, plants naturally orient themselves towards the sun and air to optimize their chances of survival and growth.Rate this question:

The ______ takes sunlight and rain away from one of the small new plants.
- A.
Mouse
- B.
Bird
- C.
Weed
Correct Answer
C. WeedExplanation
Weeds are known to compete with other plants for resources such as sunlight and water. They grow rapidly and can quickly overshadow and outcompete smaller plants, depriving them of the necessary sunlight and rain. Therefore, it is likely that weeds are the ones taking sunlight and rain away from one of the small new plants mentioned in the question.Rate this question:

Before the tiny plant has three leaves, the neighbor had ___ leaves.
- A.
Five
- B.
Four
- C.
Seven
- D.
Ten
Correct Answer
C. SevenExplanation
Based on the information given, we can infer that the tiny plant had three leaves at a certain point. The question asks about the number of leaves the neighbor had before the tiny plant had three leaves. Since the tiny plant had three leaves, it means that it already had some leaves, and the neighbor had more leaves than the tiny plant. Among the options given, the only number greater than three is seven, so the correct answer is seven.Rate this question:

- A.
Summer
- B.
Autumn
- C.
Spring
- D.
Winter
Correct Answer
B. AutumnExplanation
In autumn, the wind carries yellow and red leaves past the flower. This is because during autumn, the leaves of many trees change color and eventually fall off. The wind blows these fallen leaves, creating a beautiful scene as they pass by the flower.Rate this question:

The giant flower has lost its petals because
- A.
Wind blows harder
- B.
It is very cold
- C.
Boy picks the flower
Correct Answer
A. Wind blows harderExplanation
The correct answer is "wind blows harder". This suggests that the reason for the giant flower losing its petals is due to the increased strength of the wind. The force of the wind is likely to have caused the petals to detach from the flower and be blown away. This explanation is supported by the fact that the other options, "it is very cold" and "boy picks the flower," do not directly relate to the loss of petals.Rate this question:

Flowers seed pod opens because
- A.
It is summer.
- B.
Mouse eats the seed
- C.
Wind shakes the flower
Correct Answer
C. Wind shakes the flowerExplanation
The correct answer is "wind shakes the flower". Wind is a natural force that can cause movement in plants and flowers. When the wind shakes the flower, it can cause the seed pod to open. This is a mechanism that allows the seeds to be dispersed and spread to new areas. The movement caused by the wind helps in releasing the seeds from the pod, ensuring their survival and propagation.Rate this question:
