Question

science fair
the day had finally come. roger had worked hard these last several weeks and felt that his science project was ready for the school science fair. one of the major criteria for the fair was that all the materials they used had to be recycled from other products. they could not purchase anything new to use for their project. although some students found this rule hard, roger had been excited about it. he always felt that he was creative along with being scientific. therefore, making his paper - mâché volcano from old newspapers was a perfect idea. another rule was that all the work had to be done on their own. they could not have a partner. this rule, though, was a disappointment for roger. roger and sam had been best friends since they started school together. not being able to work as partners was a real bummer.
choose the answer that correctly states the cause and effect in the passage.
roger thinks that recycling is important, so he decides that his project should be a volcano made from old newspapers.
the science fair rules require participants to be more creative, so roger wants to work with a partner.

roger thinks that the rules for the science fair are better than last year, so he wants to win the prize.

Explanation:

El texto dice que una de las normas del certamen científico era que los materiales tuvieran que ser reciclados, lo cual hizo que Roger decidiera hacer un volcán de cartapapeles con viejos periódicos porque siempre se sentía creativo y científico. También dice que no se podía trabajar en pareja, lo que fue una decepción para Roger porque él y Sam querían ser socios. La causa - los requisitos del certamen científico - produce los efectos de la elección de material y la decepción por no trabajar en pareja.

Answer:

Roger thinks that recycling is important, so he decides that his project should be a volcano made from old newspapers.
