Making the Grade
Greg Collins planned to study the night before the big social studies test, but things just seemed to get in the way. First, he needed to take his dog Bones out for a walk. Then, he messaged his friends on his computer. Soon, it was time for dinner. After that, he watched his favorite television show. Before he knew it, it was time for bed.
"Lights out," said his mother, peeking in on him.
"Okay, Mom," he groaned. No more studying for him!
When he arrived at school the next day, he dragged his feet into Mr. Robertson's social studies class. The big test would be first thing in the morning, and he just knew he was going to fail. Groaning, he opened the door and discovered his classmates in a tizzy.
"We've got a sub," one boy whispered, pointing to the elderly woman, with big glasses, standing grumpily behind Mr. Robertson's desk. "Subs never pay attention. Now we can all copy off each other's papers during the big test."
Greg smiled for a moment as his friends composed hasty cheat sheets and wrote notes on their desks. As soon as the bell rang, the substitute introduced herself. As she explained how the test would be administered and monitored, she walked around the room with a wet cloth, wiping off hastily-written notes from desktops. She held out her hand for other students to deposit their "cheat sheets," all the while explaining her vast teaching experience. She handed out the tests, then perched herself in the chair at her desk. With a sniff, she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and announced, "You may begin."
Greg's smile disappeared. He knew that, however low a grade he received, it would be the grade he earned and more importantly, the grade he deserved. He felt a slight sense of relief come over him, and he quickly started his test.
From Greg's thoughts and actions, the reader can infer that he

The Race
by A. Gautam
Suri was nowhere close to finishing the race. First, her shoelace came off. Then, her calves started feeling stiff. The farther she tried to get, the slower she moved. Suri looked up at the sky. When she saw the dark clouds, she felt even worried. But, I want to win, she thought. Today just isn't my lucky day.
As her heart began to give up hope, Suri saw lightning in the sky. The white flash reminded her of her grandmother."You must act without thinking about the result," her grandmother had once said.
"I must run because I want to," Suri told herself. "I shouldn't run because I have to win." Just like the flash of lightning, Suri felt a sudden rush of strength. She smiled and decided to run.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to convey. Can you please provide more information or context?
1/4x4
3/4x8
1 1/4x4
1 1/2x2
1/4 x 4 = 1, meaning there is one data point of 1/4 on the line plot, and it is represented by 4 dots above it.
3/4 x 8 = 6, meaning there are six data points of 3/4 on the line plot, and they are represented by 8 dots each above them.
1 1/4 x 4 = 5, meaning there are five data points of 1 1/4 on the line plot, and they are each represented by 4 dots above them.
1 1/2 x 2 = 3, meaning there are three data points of 1 1/2 on the line plot, and they are each represented by 2 dots above them.
The line plot below shows the heights of flowers grown by the students in one of the fifth grade classes. Persia makes a flower arrangement using the 8 longest flowers.
Which is the combined height of the flowers Persia uses?
A line plot named

inches
B.

1
2
inches
C.
62
1
4
inches
D.

inches
To find the combined height of the flowers Persia uses, we need to add up the height of the 8 longest flowers.
Looking at the line plot, we can see that the 8 longest flowers are those with heights:
64, 61, 62, 58, 57, 61, 60, 60
Adding up these heights gives:
64 + 61 + 62 + 58 + 57 + 61 + 60 + 60 = 483
Therefore, the combined height of the flowers Persia uses is 483 inches.

People buy items that they need.
Opportunity costs and buying are connected because people have limited resources and need to make choices about what to buy based on the opportunity cost, which is the value of the next best alternative that was not chosen. Therefore, people may choose to buy items based on a variety of factors, such as which item provides the most value, happiness, or growth in wealth, while sacrificing the opportunity to use that money for another purpose.

Frozen Excitement
Tina was really excited about going to Yellowstone National Park. She had heard so much about the geysers, the bison, the water, and the mountains! As the day of the trip approached, Tina spent days dreaming about the park. Her grandmother was also joining them on the trip, and Tina could not be happier.
It was the night before the trip, and Tina was too excited to sleep. She did not even hear her grandmother asking her to double-check the suitcase.
"Have you packed warm clothes?" Grandma Rose had asked. "You never know about the weather up there."
"Uh huh," Tina had replied without listening. Although she remembered her grandmother saying that it could be cold in Wyoming during June, Tina had not paid attention. Time had flown by too fast. Tina tried her best to keep up with her family at the airport. Before she knew it, Tina found herself checking in to the hotel.
"All right, girls, it is supposed to snow this afternoon. Wear your hats and gloves and meet us in the lobby after you have freshened up," Tina's mother instructed her three girls.
It was at that moment that Tina realized she might have forgotten to pack warm clothes. Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze passing through the half-open window in the hotel room. She could see flurries of snow slowly falling from the sky. "But, it's June!" she told herself in vain.
"You can borrow my scarf," Robin, Tina's oldest sister, offered, "and my gloves."
"I knew you might forget to pack your jacket," Grandma Rose slowly uttered as she waltzed into the girls' room. "I had extra room in my suitcase just in case you actually did!" She was holding everything Tina needed to brave the snow in Yellowstone.
Which of these best describes the theme of the story?

Never get too excited to get enough sleep.
It is important to listen to your elders.
Always pack extra clothes for your siblings.
Weather is predictable in national parks.
