Directions: Read each passage and then respond to the questions. Each question will ask
you to make a logical inference based on textual details. Explain your answer by referencing
the text.

Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a
fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into
a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his
way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs
to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had
often said.
