  1. Question 1 of 3

    Brandon was late for school because he overslept. He usually rides the bus but his dad dropped him off. When he arrived, the other students were nearly done reading the story out loud so the teacher asked him to read it silently at his desk. He took his time unpacking his backpack before he finally got started. By the time he finished the story, he had missed the reading comprehension questions and was assigned them for homework. Brandon put his head down on the desk and cried for ten minutes.
