Describe Story Beginning and Ending Structure Practice Test

Think about the story.

Priya liked helping in the classroom garden behind the school. One spring morning, she saw the watering can was empty. The plants looked droopy and needed water.

First, Priya asked her teacher if she could refill it. Next, she carried the can to the sink carefully. Then she turned the faucet on slowly so it would not splash. Priya felt strong as she lifted the full can. Finally, she watered each plant in a slow circle.

Soon the soil looked dark and wet again. Priya smiled because the plants looked better.

What does the beginning of the story do?

Read the story.

At the library, Carter picked a book about dinosaurs. Carter liked reading with his mom after dinner. When they got home, Carter could not find the book.

First, Carter checked his backpack and the car seat. Next, Mom said, "Let's retrace our steps." They looked by the front door and the kitchen counter. Then Carter remembered he had tied his shoe at the library table. They drove back and asked the librarian for help. The librarian smiled and pointed to the lost-and-found shelf. Finally, Carter saw his dinosaur book standing between two puzzles.

Carter hugged the book and said, "Thank you!" Mom smiled because the problem was over. That night, they read the first chapter together.
