Questions 1-3 are about the following story.
Mrs. Jones had a tradition. At the end of the first day of school, Mrs. Jones always asked the children to vote on which animal would live in their class for the year. Then she would go to the local pet store and buy a class pet. The children loved the class pets. At the end of the day, if the students did all their work, the class got to play with it. It was exciting for the students to watch Perry the bird fly around or to see Timmy the turtle dive in the classroom sink.
Now, it was my class's turn to choose: Mrs. Jones asked each student what pet they'd like. After everyone chose, the most popular choices were a rabbit, a lizard, or a dog. Mrs. Jones had to say, "Students, we cannot have a dog. We cannot walk him at night."
The vote was between a lizard and a rabbit. The boys cried, "Rabbits are boring!" while the girls shouted "Lizards are ugly!" Mrs. Jones hushed the class. "It's time to vote. Let the best pet win." She asked the class to raise their hands to vote. "Who wants a rabbit?" Ten hands rose. Next she asked, "Who wants a lizard?" Eleven students lifted their hands. "I guess we have a winner," announced Mrs. Jones.
