Question

on blue ground
at first, moxeko was quite excited when his school announced a field trip to earth. hed always wanted to visit the little blue planet that was over 70 percent wet ground because water molecules there behaved in an extremely strange manner. the moisture in that world was made of a slippery substance instead of a squishy compound. rather than falling in orderly jelly cubes, like in his home world, water instead rained down from the sky in a free and fluid form. these raindrops funneled together into gigantic messes called rivers, lakes, and oceans. moxeko found it difficult to imagine such liquid chaos splattering all over the ground. water was supposed to wobble and pile up in proper mounds, not slosh all over the place in unpredictable waves. this voyage was going to be a fantastical expedition!
but then moxeko started wondering how much equipment he should pack for the trip. he gathered a diving suit, three flotation devices, and an umbrella hat. he had to be prepared for the unexpected on earth since one wrong step could lead him straight into a patch of sneaky h₂o! he wasnt certain how humans managed to navigate on so little land without constantly stumbling into random water holes. he would definitely need to
which conclusion can be drawn about moxeko from the first two paragraphs of the passage?
he is nervous about meeting an earthling.
he does well in science class at his school.
he uses water frequently on his home planet.
he has limited understanding about water on earth.

Explanation:

• Option a: There is no mention of Moxeko being nervous about meeting an Earthling in the first two paragraphs.
• Option b: There is no information given about Moxeko's performance in science class.
• Option c: The text does not state that Moxeko uses water frequently on his home planet.
• Option d: Moxeko's confusion about how humans navigate on Earth (thinking water is unpredictable and that they might stumble into "water holes" easily) shows his limited understanding of water on Earth. For example, he doesn't understand the normalcy of liquid water in rivers, lakes, etc. as opposed to his home - world's view of water.

Answer:

d. He has limited understanding about water on Earth.
