Passage

The rain started at noon. Maya and her brother Ben were walking home from school when the sky turned dark. They had no umbrellas.

"I told you we should have checked the weather," Ben said, shaking his head. His shoes were already wet and he felt cold.

Maya laughed. "It's just water! Let's run!" She pulled her brother by the hand and they sprinted down the street.

When they reached the void deck, they stopped. Ben was out of breath. "That was silly," he said, but he was smiling.

Their grandmother opened the door. "Oh dear, you two look like drowned rats!" she said. She gave them warm towels and hot chocolate.

Maya felt happy. The run had been fun, even if she was soaked. Ben agreed it was an adventure.

Order: rain started (par1), ran (par3), void deck (par4), grandmother (par5).

Section B: Inferential Understanding (6 marks)

9. Ben felt amused / playful. Expression: "but he was smiling". [1]
Inference: his words say silly but smile shows he enjoyed it.

10. Maya was carefree and eager (laughed, said "just water", pulled him to run) while Ben was cautious and bothered (complained, felt cold). [1]
Own words synthesis from par 2–3.

11. Because they were completely soaked from the rain. [1]

12. Happy. Evidence: "Maya felt happy." [1]
Par 6 direct statement.

13. She is cheerful and bold. [1]
From laughing at rain and leading run.

14. Yes. Expression: "Ben agreed it was an adventure." [1]
Par 6 support.

Section C: Language and Style (6 marks)

15. "opened the door" (grandmother given human action; acceptable as non-personification of object — note: strict personification of object not present; accept "drowned rats" as metaphor. For this paper, accept "Oh dear" as expression of human speech. If strict, flag: no clear object personification; award for "drowned rats" metaphor). [1]
Note to teacher: passage lacks strong personification; use as discussion point.

16. "shoes were already wet", "felt cold". [1]
Par 2 phrases.

17. "Sprinted" shows speed and urgency, unlike "walked" which is slow. [1]
Word choice effect.

Clarify: word is introduced par 4.

Technique: comparison using "like".

20. "Let's run!" or "Maya laughed". [1]
Par 3 excitement.
