The question
Choose the best answer.
Who will give food to the class fish this week?
- LuisCorrect answer
- Tyler
- Sara
- Ellie
Why “Luis” is correct
The chart does not use the words "give food"; it says Fish Feeder. The student needs to know that feed means give food, and that -er means the person who does it. Word parts like -er help students read many job words (teacher, helper, waterer).
Why the other answers are wrong
- Tyler — Tyler is the Line Leader. He goes first in line.
- Sara — Sara is the Plant Waterer. She gives water to the plants.
- Ellie — Ellie is the Door Holder. She holds the door open.
