MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

It was a typical Wednesday at Maplewood Elementary School. The lunch bell rang, and students rushed to the cafeteria. Among them was Jordan, who had been looking forward to his turkey sandwich all morning.

When Jordan opened his lunchbox, he gasped. His sandwich was gone! In its place was a note that read, “Thanks for the snack!”

Jordan looked around. Who could have taken it? He asked his friends, but no one had seen anything suspicious. Determined to solve the mystery, Jordan decided to investigate.

First, he checked the hallway cameras with the help of Mr. Lee, the school custodian. They saw a small figure sneaking into the classroom during recess. The figure wore a red hoodie—just like Jordan’s friend Max.

Jordan didn’t want to accuse Max without proof, so he asked him directly. Max laughed and said, “No way! I brought my own lunch today. Want to see my sandwich wrapper?”

Max showed Jordan the wrapper from his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Jordan believed him.

Later that day, Jordan saw a squirrel outside the classroom window. It was dragging a plastic bag that looked just like his lunch bag. Jordan and Mr. Lee went outside and found the bag under a bush—with the turkey sandwich still inside, untouched!

Apparently, the squirrel had snuck in through an open window and taken the lunch. Jordan laughed and decided to keep his lunchbox zipped from now on.

What day of the week did the story take place?

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday
