Question
charlie had made an a on every test he had taken all year. as a result, he had the highest grade in all his classes. some of the other kids never studied for their tests. but charlie spent hours studying to make sure he never got less than an a
at lunch, he bragged to his friends that his perfect record could not be broken. \i plan to make an a on every test until i graduate high school,\ he said proudly.
o one makes an a all the time,\ one of charlies friends replied. \its okay to make a b once in a while.\
charlie shook his head.
ot me.\
later that afternoon, charlie studied for his biology test and his english test the next day. he had already made notes and now he was proud of himself for remembering everything so easily. he just had to read over them again. charlie looked up at his calendar, where he had written down the dates of all his tests.
the next morning, charlie strolled into his math class. he glanced around at his classmates, who were not digging their math books out from their backpacks. his classmates had only pencils on their desks. charlie sat down at his desk and suddenly saw the words \test today\ written across the chalkboard. charlie felt his heart beat faster. he had forgotten about this test, which meant that he had not studied. charlie realized he had no idea what was going to be on the test, and he did not have enough time to study anyway.
the math teacher walked into the room and began passing out tests. charlie stared down at the paper in front of him. he could not remember any of the formulas needed to solve the problems. he sighed and realized that his perfect record was about to be shattered.
which lesson can be learned from this story?
a. math tests are the difficult test
b. no one is perfect all the time
c. smart students dont need to study
d. cheaters never do well on tests
The story follows Charlie, who boasts about his perfect A record and claims he'll never get less than an A. However, he forgets an unstudied math test, and his perfect record is about to be broken. This shows that even someone who seems perfect can face setbacks, aligning with the idea that no one can be perfect all the time. The other options are incorrect: math tests aren't framed as universally difficult, smart students in the story do study, and Charlie is not a cheater.
