Question

comprehension. why did the boy grip his baseball glove more tightly? he was preparing to play catch with pax. he was nervous about travelling in the car. he sensed something was wrong. he was cold and wanted to warm his hands.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Gripping a baseball glove tightly to play catch is logical as playing catch involves using the glove to catch the ball, so preparing for that would make one grip the glove tightly.
• Option 2: Nervous about car travel is unrelated to gripping a baseball glove.
• Option 3: Sensing something wrong doesn't directly relate to gripping a baseball glove in a typical context.
• Option 4: Warming hands would not be achieved by gripping a baseball glove tightly (a glove isn't a heating source). So the most logical reason is preparing to play catch.

Answer:

A. He was preparing to play catch with Pax.
