The question
Choose the best answer.
When will the second grade have their pictures taken?
- Today in the morning
- Tomorrow in the morning
- Today after lunch
- Tomorrow after lunchCorrect answer
Why “Tomorrow after lunch” is correct
The student must put together two time clues from different sentences: Picture Day is tomorrow, and second grade goes right after lunch. Each wrong choice gets one or both clues wrong, and choice b is the time for first grade.
Why the other answers are wrong
- Today in the morning — Picture Day is tomorrow, not today, and the morning is for first grade.
- Tomorrow in the morning — The morning is when first grade has pictures taken.
- Today after lunch — The time of day is right, but Picture Day is tomorrow.
