Explanation:

Analyze Question 3

The prompt asks to complete a statement based on "paragraph 12" (which is not visible in the image). The statement structure is: "According to paragraph 12, ____ because ____."
The options provided are:
a. she stretched it out to relieve discomfort in her leg
b. her foot was outside the four-foot circle
c. Mary's foot remained

To make a logically coherent sentence:

• "Mary's foot remained" (c) fits as the subject and main action of the first blank.
• "outside the four-foot circle" (b) completes the location of her foot.
• "because" introduces the reason: "she stretched it out to relieve discomfort in her leg" (a).

Thus, the completed sentence is: "According to paragraph 12, Mary's foot remained outside the four-foot circle because she stretched it out to relieve discomfort in her leg."
This corresponds to the sequence of letters: c, b, a.

Analyze Question 4

The question asks: "What did you have to do to answer question 3?"
The options are:

• a. find an effect (something that happened)
• b. find a cause (why something happened)
• c. find a comparison (how things are the same)

Question 3 asks to complete a statement containing the word "because", which links an event ("Mary's foot remained outside...") to its reason ("she stretched it out to relieve discomfort..."). Finding the reason why something happened is finding a cause. Therefore, option b is the correct choice.
