check your understanding
highlight the sentence that explains why kids in circus smirkus have the chore of loading and unloading the big top tent.

Explanation:

To find the sentence explaining why kids in Circus Smirkus do the chore of loading/unloading the Big Top tent, we look for the causal relationship. The sentence "This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." (preceded by the chore description) explains the reason as it connects the chore to preparing for the job during the tour. Wait, no—actually, the relevant sentence is "This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." Wait, no, let's re - read. The chore is loading/unloading the tent, and the explanation is "This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." But the sentence that directly explains the reason for the chore is "This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." Wait, no, the sentence before that: "One chore is loading and unloading the huge Big Top tent that they will perform under. This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." So the sentence "This is practice for a job they will help with on the road." explains why they do the chore (loading/unloading the tent) as it's practice for the job during the tour.

Answer:

This is practice for a job they will help with on the road.
