Why “Gloves and trash bags” is correct
This tests listening for a specific detail in a conversation. Naomi tells Darnell to bring a hat and a water bottle, then says, “The park will give everyone gloves and trash bags.” The question asks what the park gives, not what the helpers bring.
Why the other answers are wrong
- Hats — A hat is something Darnell must bring himself.
- Water bottles — A water bottle is something Darnell must bring himself.
- A ride to the park — Darnell says his dad will drive them; the park does not give rides.
