Question

Raul and his sister Grace are building a time capsule. They read a story in the newspaper about a sixth-grade class that had buried a time capsule 20 years ago. This year, the students got together to dig up the capsule. The story told of how much fun they had when looking at what they had buried. The class talked about how much things have changed since the time when they were students.

Raul and Grace decide to bury a time capsule of their own. First, they made sure they were digging in a safe place. Then, they found a container that would keep their things clean and dry. After they buried the container, they marked the spot and made a note on their calendar to remember the exact date. In 20 years, they will see what changes have taken place.

In which two ways can the writer support the idea that Raul and Grace want to create a memory of the times they live in now? Choose two answers(1 Point)

by telling about life 20 years ago

by listing out the items Raul and Grace buried

by telling which items the students buried 20 years ago

by explaining how Raul and Grace decide on which items to bury

by explaining why the students buried the time capsule 20 years ago

by describing the process Raul and Grace used to bury the time capsule

Answer 1

Answer: B. by listing out the items Raul and Grace buried. And the second answer is D. by explaining how Raul and Grace decide on which items to bury.

Explanation: Even though the story is short, you can already tell just by reading the first paragraph of what are the students intentions in building their own time capsule.

The main reason why Raul and his sister grace want too be able too build their own time capsule is so that they can have their own memories of their own and look back in like 20 years from when they are older.

When you read short stories like this one for example, even though it's so simple and short it really does have great meaning behind it. and your job as the reader is to find context clues that show and explain the main idea of what the two characters main goal and motives are in the story.

So the two answers will be B. And D. Because Raul and his sister grace were really inspired by reading the article of how the 6th graders build a time capsule and 20 years later they dug it up which was fun, in doing so Raul and Grace decided that they wanted too try this too on their own. I HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
