Color choices
Original fictional scene.
At art club, Jalen set two color swatches beside an unfinished mural sketch. A note on the table said, “Compare colors by the window.” Jalen moved the sketch toward the window, held a green swatch beside one section, then tried a blue swatch in the same place. Jalen kept both swatches beside the sketch and wrote “Ask the group” on a sticky note. The mural was still unfinished.
Your task
Read “Color choices” on your own. Write 4–5 sentences. State one inference about what Jalen may be deciding or checking. Use two accurate details and explain how they support it. Give a different possible inference and its supporting detail. Then classify the claim “Jalen plans to remove every green part of the mural” as a detail, supported inference, or unsupported guess; explain what the passage does or does not support and name one thing you still cannot know. You may make notes on a separate sheet before writing. Use the passage only.
Your response
Check: Did I explain the evidence links and keep possibilities distinct from facts? Use a separate sheet if needed.
