d his soup is so hot it burns his tongue.

Explanation:

Question 1

To answer this, we analyze the context of a story (likely about a snowy day and school). When kids cheer about snow, a common conclusion is school cancellation. Option A is about snow depth (cheers don't imply exact depth), C is opposite of typical cheer meaning, D is about mom's permission (cheers are more about school). So B makes sense.

We analyze Ned's problem. Option A: Not finding warm clothes is less likely a "main" problem. Option B: A temperature of 98.6 is normal (not a fever), so this is incorrect. Option C: If he's sick with a fever, mom won't let him play in snow – this fits a main conflict (wanting to play outside but being sick). Option D: Hot soup burning tongue is a minor issue, not main. So C is correct.

Answer:

B. School is canceled.
