Based on the underlined evidence, how would answer the anchor question for this signpost?

Kind acts are recorded on kindness tickets, which are like money on the bookmobile.

When the bookmobile shows up at a school, the kids jump into a line to exchange their tickets for books.

• The author said it like that because the kids get books.

• The difference is that we do not usually get to trade kindness tickets for books. This matters because kids who cannot afford book can get them by collecting tickets for being kind.

• The author uses those numbers to show us that kids get lots of free books.

• This makes me wonder how many books a kid can get with their tickets.
