	Question 1
1.	Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
	One day Kevin’s mother was trying to find her glasses. Kevin sat down with his mother. “Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?” he asked. “I had them on while I was watching the news this morning,” she said. “Where were you watching the news?” asked Kevin. His mother answered that she was in the living room. She remembered sitting on the chair and taking off her glasses when the news ended. She thought she placed her glasses on the table, but they weren’t there. “Did you put them on again after the morning news?” asked Kevin. “Maybe I did,” his mother replied. “Let’s go through your day,” said Kevin. Kevin’s mother told him everything she remembered doing during the day. She watched the news, made breakfast, folded laundry, worked in her home office and then did some gardening. Then she started looking for her glasses. Kevin retraced her path through the house and yard. He looked under the chair, in the kitchen, in the laundry basket, in her office and around the garden. He didn’t find her glasses. So, he looked in kitchen again, and this time he opened the cabinets. Kevin discovered the

	glasses in the drawer with the cutlery. Kevin’s mother was happy.
