For this test, you will read passages and then answer questions about the passages. Some of the questions may look different from test questions you have seen before, and some may ask about material that is new to you, but it is important to do your best. If you are not sure of the answer to a question, you should still try to answer it.  \nYou will now read two passages and answer the questions that follow. Some of the questions may askyou to compare the two passages.  \nPassage 1  \nThe Three Brothers  \nretold by Pat Betteley  \n1 Narrator 1: There once was an old farmer who had three sons. The oldest son was named Hans. Fritz was the middle son, and the youngest was called Kurt. The farmer loved his boys dearly and they worked beside each other every day doing the endless chores that needed to be done on the farm.  \n2 Hans: My jobs require great skill with animals. I milk the cows, shear the sheep, and feed the pigs.  \n3 Fritz: I am a plant specialist. I plow the fields, sow the seed, and reap the harvest.  \n4 Kurt: I do all the jobs that are left. I churn the butter, wash the clothes, and make the candles. Blech!  \n5 Narrator 2: Sometimes Kurt longed to help his older brothers.  \n6 Farmer: Boys, gather around. I have finally figured out a fair way to choose which of you will inherit my farm. Here is my plan. We will pick one day. Each of you will have a turn to fill up the old barn before that day is done. Whoever can accomplish this task will have the farm.  \n7 Hans: But what shall we use to fill it?  \n8 Farmer: Whatever you choose. Does that sound fair?  \n9 Hans, Fritz, Kurt: Yes, Father.  \n10 Narrator 2: As the boys went about their chores that day, each thought about how he would fill the barn.  \n11 Hans: With my skills with the animals, I cannot lose.  \n12 Fritz: No one knows more about crops than I. Soon this farm will be mine.  \n13 Kurt: I have no good ideas. I must not get discouraged though, or I will never win the farm. I have to keep thinking.  \n1 GOON   \n14 Narrator 3: At last the day of the contest arrived. Everyone was up at dawn.  \n15 Hans: Of course, since I am oldest, I will go first. Stand aside everyone.  \n16 Narrator 1: And with great skill, Hans packed every last farm animal into the barn. There was not enough room for even one more chicken on the barn floor that was packed full of horses, cows, sheep, pigs, and cats.  \n17 Hans: It looks like the farm will be mine, brother Fritz.  \n18 Fritz: We shall see. First, I will lead all the animals out of the barn. And now, hand me a pitchfork, Kurt.  \n19 Narrator 2: And Fritz proceeded to fill the barn to the rafters with hay.  \n20 Fritz: Now who do you think will win the farm, older brother?  \n21 Father: Fritz, you have certainly filled the barn more than Hans did, but don’t forget about Kurt. We must give your younger brother his chance.  \n22 Narrator 3: The three boys cleared all the hay out of the barn. By the time they had finished, night had fallen.  \n23 Hans: Your turn, baby brother.  \n24 Fritz: Let us see what you can do in the time that’s left.  \n25 Narrator 1: Kurt spoke not a word. He simply reached into the pocket of his overalls. He pulled out a candle and lit it. Immediately, light filled the barn. It reached past the beams and rafters to the roof and spilled out the windows and doors.  \n26 Hans: Amazing!  \n2","cbCairR11eumz0kq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairR11eumz0kq","pdf",4004266,34,"English","# Directions\n# Passage 1 - The Three Brothers\n# Passage 2 - The King’s Journey","[{\"question\":\"What should students do if they are unsure of an answer?\",\"answer\":\"Students should still try to answer each question even if they are not sure.\"},{\"question\":\"How many passages do students read in this session?\",\"answer\":\"Students read two passages and then answer the questions that follow.\"},{\"question\":\"What type of skills do some questions require?\",\"answer\":\"Some questions may ask students to compare the two passages.\"}]","NEW MEXICO MSSA English Language Arts/Literacy Grade 4 - Practice Test - Session 1 | PDF",1790802393,86]
