From: Rosalie
Date: May 7
Subject: Our Saturday at the museum
Hi Kwame,
Ottilie is six and Gideon is ten, so they cannot join every activity together.
The only activity that all four of us can enjoy together starts at 1.. After that, we can have lunch in the park across the road. Gideon already has his place in Robot Build, and the guide says that 2.. He has talked about it all week. Your knee is still sore, so please avoid the stairs.
Robot Build is 3., so please take the lift beside the gift shop. There is no need to rush. At the same time, I will take Ottilie to 4., so she can have an activity of her own. She will love that. Her activity ends at 5., and then we will wait for you by the gift shop. I do not think we need to book anything else.
Please tell me by Thursday if this plan works for you.
Love,
Rosalie

Correct Answer: 11:00
Why this is correct: Family Dig is for all ages, so a six year old and a ten year old can both join. It starts at 11:00.
Tips: Check the ages of both children against the age line on each card. Then read the start time.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 12:30: The Star Show starts at 12:30, but it is for ages 9 and up. Ottilie is only six.
- 1:30: Mini Makers and Robot Build start at 1:30. Their age ranges do not fit both children.
- 3:00: 3:00 is when Robot Build ends. No activity on the guide starts at 3:00.
Correct Answer: an adult builds with each child
Why this is correct: The Robot Build card says an adult builds with each child. So one adult must stay with Gideon.
Tips: The sentence is about one activity. Read every line on that card before you choose.
Why the other options are wrong:
- no booking is needed: The Robot Build card says booking is required. Drop-in is for the other two activities.
- it is free with entry: Robot Build costs $10 per robot kit. Mini Makers is the free one.
- it is closed if it rains: Only Family Dig is closed if it rains, because it is outdoors.
Correct Answer: on the third floor
Why this is correct: The Robot Build card says the Cedar Room is on the third floor.
Tips: Places can be on the cards and in the note. Match the place to the right activity.
Why the other options are wrong:
- on the second floor: The second floor is where the Star Show dome is, in the note under the table.
- on the ground floor: The ground floor has the Birch Room, where Mini Makers takes place.
- in the courtyard: The courtyard has the outdoor sandpit for Family Dig, not Robot Build.
Correct Answer: Mini Makers
Why this is correct: Mini Makers runs from 1:30, the same time as Robot Build. It is for ages 4 to 7, and Ottilie is six.
Tips: Two things must be true here. Check the time and the age range on each card.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Family Dig: Family Dig runs from 11:00 to 12:00, so it is not at the same time as Robot Build.
- the Star Show: The Star Show is at 12:30 and is for ages 9 and up. Ottilie is six.
- Robot Build: Robot Build is for ages 8 to 12, so Ottilie is too young to join.
Correct Answer: 2:30
Why this is correct: Ottilie goes to Mini Makers, and that card says it runs from 1:30 to 2:30.
Tips: Each time on the card has a start and an end. Read which one the sentence needs.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 3:00: 3:00 is when Robot Build ends. Gideon is in that activity, not Ottilie.
- 12:00: 12:00 is when Family Dig ends. That is the morning activity.
- 1:30: 1:30 is when Mini Makers starts. The sentence asks when it ends.
Correct Answer: share a plan that works for both children's ages
Why this is correct: Rosalie says the children cannot join every activity together. She then sets out a day with something for each of them.
Tips: To find the main purpose, look at what the writer plans and asks for, not at single details.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask Kwame to book the Star Show for Gideon: Rosalie never asks for the Star Show. She says nothing more needs booking.
- cancel Gideon's place in Robot Build: Gideon keeps his place in Robot Build. He has talked about it all week.
- complain about the age limits at the museum: Rosalie does not complain. She plans around the ages instead.
Correct Answer: the other activities they chose are drop-in
Why this is correct: Robot Build is already booked. Family Dig and Mini Makers both say drop-in, no booking.
Tips: List the activities the family will do. Then check the booking line on each of those cards.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Robot Build is free with entry: Robot Build costs $10 per robot kit. It is not free with entry.
- the Star Show is open to all ages: The note says the Star Show is for ages 9 and up.
- every activity at the museum is drop-in: Robot Build says booking required, so not every activity is drop-in.
Correct Answer: tell her whether the plan suits him
Why this is correct: At the end, Rosalie asks Kwame to tell her by Thursday if the plan works for him.
Tips: The sentence says 'Before Saturday'. Look for what Rosalie asks Kwame to do.
Why the other options are wrong:
- book Ottilie a place in Robot Build: Ottilie is six, and Robot Build is for ages 8 to 12.
- buy tickets for the Star Show: Rosalie does not plan the Star Show. Ottilie is too young for it.
- carry Ottilie up the stairs: Rosalie asks Kwame to avoid the stairs because his knee is sore.
