Which question could the library passage NOT answer?
The town library stands on a quiet street, and its doors open early. The librarian welcomes each visitor with a smile and often knows which book a reader will enjoy. On Saturday mornings toddlers come for story hour, while students study at long wooden tables. People lower their voices out of respect for those who are reading. For many families the library is a second home, a place where anyone can borrow a book and discover something new.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. How many books the town library owns in total
- Step 1: Check each question against the text. Step 2. The passage gives no number of books but describes who comes, what the librarian does and where students sit. Answer: How many books the town library owns in total. Why not the others: the other three are answered by details in the text.
