Hi Kwame,

Ottilie is six and Gideon is ten, so they cannot join every activity together.

The only activity that all four of us can enjoy together starts at 1.

A.I. Explanation:

Correct Answer: 11:00
Why this is correct: Family Dig is for all ages, so a six year old and a ten year old can both join. It starts at 11:00.
Tips: Check the ages of both children against the age line on each card. Then read the start time.
Why the other options are wrong:
12:30: The Star Show starts at 12:30, but it is for ages 9 and up. Ottilie is only six.
1:30: Mini Makers and Robot Build start at 1:30. Their age ranges do not fit both children.
3:00: 3:00 is when Robot Build ends. No activity on the guide starts at 3:00.
Correct Answer: an adult builds with each child
Why this is correct: The Robot Build card says an adult builds with each child. So one adult must stay with Gideon.
Tips: The sentence is about one activity. Read every line on that card before you choose.
Why the other options are wrong:
no booking is needed: The Robot Build card says booking is required. Drop-in is for the other two activities.
it is free with entry: Robot Build costs $10 per robot kit. Mini Makers is the free one.
it is closed if it rains: Only Family Dig is closed if it rains, because it is outdoors.
Correct Answer: on the third floor
Why this is correct: The Robot Build card says the Cedar Room is on the third floor.
Tips: Places can be on the cards and in the note. Match the place to the right activity.
Why the other options are wrong:
on the second floor: The second floor is where the Star Show dome is, in the note under the table.
on the ground floor: The ground floor has the Birch Room, where Mini Makers takes place.
in the courtyard: The courtyard has the outdoor sandpit for Family Dig, not Robot Build.
Correct Answer: Mini Makers
Why this is correct: Mini Makers runs from 1:30, the same time as Robot Build. It is for ages 4 to 7, and Ottilie is six.
Tips: Two things must be true here. Check the time and the age range on each card.
Why the other options are wrong:
Family Dig: Family Dig runs from 11:00 to 12:00, so it is not at the same time as Robot Build.
the Star Show: The Star Show is at 12:30 and is for ages 9 and up. Ottilie is six.
Robot Build: Robot Build is for ages 8 to 12, so Ottilie is too young to join.
Correct Answer: 2:30
Why this is correct: Ottilie goes to Mini Makers, and that card says it runs from 1:30 to 2:30.
Tips: Each time on the card has a start and an end. Read which one the sentence needs.
Why the other options are wrong:
3:00: 3:00 is when Robot Build ends. Gideon is in that activity, not Ottilie.
12:00: 12:00 is when Family Dig ends. That is the morning activity.
1:30: 1:30 is when Mini Makers starts. The sentence asks when it ends.
Correct Answer: share a plan that works for both children's ages
Why this is correct: Rosalie says the children cannot join every activity together. She then sets out a day with something for each of them.
Tips: To find the main purpose, look at what the writer plans and asks for, not at single details.
Why the other options are wrong:
ask Kwame to book the Star Show for Gideon: Rosalie never asks for the Star Show. She says nothing more needs booking.
cancel Gideon's place in Robot Build: Gideon keeps his place in Robot Build. He has talked about it all week.
complain about the age limits at the museum: Rosalie does not complain. She plans around the ages instead.
Correct Answer: the other activities they chose are drop-in
Why this is correct: Robot Build is already booked. Family Dig and Mini Makers both say drop-in, no booking.
Tips: List the activities the family will do. Then check the booking line on each of those cards.
Why the other options are wrong:
Robot Build is free with entry: Robot Build costs $10 per robot kit. It is not free with entry.
the Star Show is open to all ages: The note says the Star Show is for ages 9 and up.
every activity at the museum is drop-in: Robot Build says booking required, so not every activity is drop-in.
Correct Answer: tell her whether the plan suits him
Why this is correct: At the end, Rosalie asks Kwame to tell her by Thursday if the plan works for him.
Tips: The sentence says 'Before Saturday'. Look for what Rosalie asks Kwame to do.
Why the other options are wrong:
book Ottilie a place in Robot Build: Ottilie is six, and Robot Build is for ages 8 to 12.
buy tickets for the Star Show: Rosalie does not plan the Star Show. Ottilie is too young for it.
carry Ottilie up the stairs: Rosalie asks Kwame to avoid the stairs because his knee is sore.
