Question

Read the paragraph.

Devin slept soundly, dreaming of his baseball tournament. He had loaded his gear bag the night before with his bat, glove, and sunflower seeds. His mom had put sports drinks and water bottles in the cooler. Everything he needed was packed and waiting in the garage. His hat and neatly folded uniform were beside his bed. All that day he had talked endlessly with his brother about the teams he would face in the tournament. While he slept, however, storm clouds gathered. By 3:00 a.m., the rain had begun to fall. It continued ceaselessly, intensifying as Devin’s alarm sounded at 7:00 a.m.

Based on the evidence provided in the paragraph, what is the best prediction?

Devin will sleep through his alarm.
Devin’s team will win the tournament.
Devin’s garage will be flooded by the rain.
Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Answer 1

Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Reason: The paragraph says heavy rain began overnight and continued, which likely spoils or delays his baseball tournament—so disappointment is the most supported prediction.
