questions. First there’s a question that you answer based on your understanding
of the passage:
1 Based on the passage, the primary problem with the initial bowl of
porridge is that
A) it is too hot.
B) it is too cold.
C) it is too just right.
D) it has gluten.Then there is a sneaky follow-up question that asks what evidence (what lines
from the passage) best supports the answer you gave to the previous question.
That means you have to remember what you just answered and identify where in
the passage you found the answer.
2 Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the
previous question?
A) lines 3–4 (“Goldilocks . . . sonorous.”)
B) lines 8–9 (“Papa Bear . . . belch.”)
C) lines 11–12 (“Mama Bear . . . taxidermy.”)
D) lines 14–15 (“Gluten . . . despair.”)
