Mrs. Jewls remembered the questions she asked for the test, but unfortunately, she couldn’t remember the order in which she asked them.
These were the questions she asked.
g
(a) What form of transportation should you take, if you are in a hurry to get from Alaska to Florida?
(b) What form of transportation runs on tracks?
(c) What takes kids to school, is often yellow, and smells terrible?
(d) What form of transportation would you take to get to the moon?
(e) What form of transportation should you take to get across a lake?
Mrs. Jewls needs to figure out the order in which she asked those questions, so she could grade the rest of the class’s tests. In what order were they asked?

The New Flagpole
The flagpole in front of Wayside School was struck by lightning.
Mrs. Jewls’s class got to choose a new one.
“I think we should get a taller one this time,” said Deedee. “Because our school is so tall. Next to the school, the old flagpole looked kind of puny.”
“The taller the better!” agreed Ron.
“Right on!” hollered Mac.
“Hold on a second,” said Eric Fry. “If we get it too tall, then the people standing at the bottom won’t be able to see the flag way up on top.”
“He’s right,” said Dana. “We can’t get it too tall.” Dana had trouble seeing the flag without her glasses.
“We don’t need a shorter flagpole,” said Sharie. “We need a bigger flag! I say we get a real tall pole, and a giant flag!”
“Oh, I don’t know about that,” said Stephen. “It will take a lot of work to raise a giant flag up a tall flagpole every day.”
It was Stephen’s job to raise the flag.
“Don’t be so unpatriotic!” said Jason. “You should be willing to work hard to show you love your country.”
