Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Explicit: Priya 'lined up her sharpened pencils in a neat row,' which the text states directly. Inference: she seems nervous or eager about the day, supported by the detail that she 'checked her backpack three times.' The new paragraph must name its own source detail and explain how the same method fits it; this model is not a substitute for reading.
