1Read the passage: "The Stó:lō people have fished the Fraser River for thousands of years. Salmon remains central to their culture, ceremonies, and food systems. Today, Stó:lō fishers combine traditional knowledge with modern science to protect the runs." What is the passage mainly about?
A.The ongoing importance of salmon fishing to the Stó:lō people
B.How modern science replaced traditional fishing
C.The geography of the Fraser River
D.Why salmon populations are growing
Explanation: Every sentence ties the Stó:lō to salmon — its history, cultural role, and current stewardship — so the main idea is the continuing importance of salmon fishing to the Stó:lō people.
2Read the passage: "A battery stores chemical energy. When a circuit is closed, that energy changes into electrical energy, which a bulb then changes into light and heat." According to the passage, what does the bulb do?
A.It changes electrical energy into light and heat
B.It stores chemical energy
C.It closes the circuit
D.It creates energy from nothing
Explanation: The passage states the bulb changes electrical energy into light and heat. Tracking each stage of a described process is a direct-comprehension skill.
3Read the passage: "Priya checked the weather app, frowned at the dark clouds over the field, and texted her coach: 'Should we move practice indoors?'" What can you infer from the passage?
A.Priya thinks the weather might ruin outdoor practice
B.Priya wants to cancel the team
C.The coach has already ended practice
D.Priya dislikes her coach
Explanation: Checking the forecast, frowning at clouds, and asking about moving indoors together show Priya suspects the weather will disrupt practice. Combining clues to infer meaning is a core FSA skill.
4Read the passage: "Earthworms breathe through their skin, which must stay moist to take in oxygen. That is why earthworms come to the surface during heavy rain — waterlogged soil pushes them out, but damp surface air lets them keep breathing." Why do earthworms surface during heavy rain?
A.The soil fills with water and they can still breathe in the damp surface air
B.They enjoy being eaten by birds
C.They are searching for sunlight
D.Rain washes away their food supply
Explanation: The passage explains that waterlogged soil forces worms up and that moist surface air allows them to keep breathing through their skin.
5Read the passage: "Before 1885, travelling from Montreal to Vancouver took months of dangerous journeying. After the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed, the same trip took about six days." What was the effect of the railway's completion?
A.It cut the cross-country journey from months to days
B.It made travel more dangerous
C.It ended train travel in Canada
D.It moved Montreal closer to the ocean
Explanation: The passage contrasts months of travel before 1885 with about six days afterward, so the railway's effect was to shorten the journey dramatically.
6Read the passage: "Our school garden grew 40 kilograms of potatoes this fall. The Grade 6 class planted them in March, weeded the rows all spring, and harvested in October. The potatoes will be served in the lunch program." Which detail tells what will happen to the potatoes?
A.They will be served in the lunch program
B.They were planted in March
C.The class weeded the rows
D.The garden grew 40 kilograms
Explanation: Only the final sentence looks forward, saying the potatoes will be served in the lunch program. The other details describe the past or the harvest size.
7Read the passage: "The instructions said to preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Malik set the temperature, waited for the light to turn off, and only then slid in the tray of cookies." Why did Malik wait for the light to turn off?
A.The light going off showed the oven had reached the right temperature
B.The light kept the cookies from burning
C.He was waiting for a phone call
D.The oven was broken
Explanation: Malik preheated as instructed; the indicator light turning off signals the oven is fully heated, which is why he waited before baking.
8Read the passage: "Octopuses are famous escape artists. Their soft bodies can squeeze through any gap larger than their hard beak — the only stiff part of their body. Aquarium staff have found octopuses in neighbouring tanks after overnight adventures." What limits the size of gap an octopus can fit through?
A.The size of its hard beak
B.The length of its arms
C.The weight of its body
D.The colour of its skin
Explanation: The passage says an octopus can pass through any gap larger than its beak because the beak is the only stiff body part, so beak size is the limit.
9Read the passage: "The new library branch opened with 10,000 books. Within six months, visitors had borrowed 25,000 items, and the branch had added 3,000 new members." Which number tells how many people joined the library?
A.3,000
B.10,000
C.25,000
D.38,000
Explanation: New members are people who joined, and the passage gives that figure as 3,000. Matching a question to the right number in a text full of figures is a practical reading skill.

C.She forgot her backpack
D.She was in trouble
