"Vwood you like?" Toby's grandmother said as she offered him a pastry. Grandma Maia was raised in Estonia and didn't come to the United States until she was in her 40s. Toby loved to hear how she talked, especially when she told stories from the Old Country. He helped himself to a pastry—his favorite, an open-faced roll with cream cheese, butter, and a little sugar melted together.
"Have anuzzer!" his grandma coaxed. "Vee have zo many, zey vill never get eaten ozzervise."
Toby grinned sheepishly and helped himself to another pastry. "Thanks, Vanaema," he said, calling her by the Estonian word for Grandma, as he always did. "But that's all I should eat. Mom will get mad if I spoil my appetite for dinner."
"Pah!" Vanaema waved away his comment as if it were a fly. "You are a g-r-r-owing boy," she said, rolling her "r."
"Yes, but if you keep feeding me like this, I'll 'grow' fat!" Toby joked, triggering a hearty chuckle from his grandma.

4. What is the most likely reason the author has the grandmother roll her "r" when she says, "You are a g-r-r-owing boy"?
to make her grandson laugh with Estonian humor
to illustrate that she has trouble speaking to children
to convey to readers her Estonian accent
to show the importance of the word "growing"

Answer 20

There were many great world explorers. These men went on daring journeys to find new lands. The most exciting of these was the one made by Columbus in 1492. He and his men had to be very brave to make this trip. It led to one of the biggest events in history—the discovery of America.

Reading Selection 2:
Columbus was a young seaman. He had dreams of sailing west to get to Asia. The king and queen of Spain agreed to pay for his trip. In August of 1492, he set sail with three ships. His men spotted land in the Bahamas on October 12. He sailed along the northern coast of Hispaniola and went back to Spain in 1493. He made a second trip the next year with at least 17 ships. At that time, he founded what is now the Dominican Republic. On his third trip, he came to South America. He later made a fourth trip, also to South America. For many years, the history books have said that Columbus was first to get to America. But his ships never made it to any part of the present-day United States.

4. Which of the following sentences from the reading selections above is an opinion?
In August of 1492, he set sail with three ships.
Columbus was a young seaman.
He and his men had to be very brave to make this trip.
He founded what is now the Dominican Republic.

Answer 21

The third option is an opinion, since not everyone might think of them as brave. The rest of the options are facts.
