Chapter-by-Chapter Item Analysis & Textual Evidence
1
Chapter 1 • Correct: A (Brand-new computer)
The grand prize for 3rd and 4th graders is a powerful new computer. Jake wants his own PC because he has to share a slow, outdated computer with his entire family.
2
Chapter 2 • Correct: B (Kevin Doane & Marsha Cessano)
Jake introduces the two chief rivals: Kevin Doane (who is obsessed with science facts) and Marsha Cessano (who waves her arms and always has to be called on first).
3
Chapter 3 • Correct: B (Turn into a know-it-all by studying facts)
Jake reasons that you cannot beat a know-it-all unless you become one yourself. He begins diving into encyclopedias and memorizing trivia to prepare.
4
Chapter 4 • Correct: A (Annoys family and pushes Willie away)
Instead of earning admiration, Jake's bragging and interrupting irritate everyone. His best friend Willie Wilkes pulls away because Jake stops being fun to talk with.
5
Chapter 5 • Correct: A (Easy projects feel babyish, hard ones impossible)
At the library, Jake hits a wall: elementary demonstrations feel too juvenile to win a grand prize, but complex experiments involve formulas and gear he doesn't have.
6
Chapter 6 • Correct: B (Electromagnets and magnetic fields)
Jake gets fascinated by magnets, batteries, and copper wire. He begins wrapping wire around an iron bolt and realizes science is thrilling when you discover it firsthand.
