Reading Skills Test:

Roger and Tara are planning a day at the beach with their kids Mark, Kyle, and Becca. Roger packs a lunch for the family, with turkey sandwiches for everyone except Kyle, who only seems to like peanut butter and jelly. Tara is busy making sure that Becca has her asthma inhaler, and that the family has enough sun screen to last the entire day. Mark, the eldest, is helping his dad by packing the family van, and by securing the beach chairs to the roof.

Who has asthma?

Mark
Kyle
Becca
Tara

The correct answer is Becca.

Step-by-step explanation

Asthma is an illness that affects the respiratory system. This asthma causes inflammation in the respiratory tracts, and due to this, people with asthma experience chest pain and difficulties to breath. One of the most common medicines to decrease asthma symptoms is the inhaler because this contributes to the expansion of the respiratory tract.

According to this, it is likely Becca suffers from asthma because in the text it is explained "Tara is busy making sure that Becca has her asthma inhaler" which suggests Becca needs an inhaler and this is only possible if she has asthma as otherwise, she would not need an inhaler. So, the correct answer is Becca.
