Question

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sob. His mother comforted him, "There, there, Max. We'll just find something else to do." She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, "I don't wanna sand-mich!" A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

Based on the text, why is Max upset?

Question 2 options:

It is raining, and he cannot go outside.


He is scared of thunderstorms.


He is hungry.


He is bored.

Answer 1

1. It is raining, and he cannot go outside

Step-by-step explanation:

If the family was going to do a picnic, the weather would have to be tolerable, but because it is raining they can't do a picnic because the food will be soaked. Max was most likely looking forward to the picnic, so having it be suddenly canceled because of rain made him frustrated.

Hope this helps! ^w^
