Question: Passage: Yesterday , I realized the plants on my bookshelf were beginning to wilt . I touched the leaves of the largest plant , and it felt squishy between my fingertips . I can never remember if wilting plants mean water or light is needed , so I decided to start with the easiest at the moment - water . I grabbed my small tin watering can and filled it up at my kitchen sink , spilling a little on the counter . Back in the living room , I tipped the can over each of the plants , offering them water in direct proportion to their sizes . They did n't immediately perk up . Instead , the water sort of pooled around the base of each plant , like a tiny little rain puddle in a pot . Still , the plants did not perk up . I am hopeful they will begin to be less wilted by tomorrow ! Question: When did the pools disappear, slowly at first and then sort of suddenly? Option1: While in the kitchen Option2: as the water seeped into the soil

Answer: as the water seeped into the soil


Question: Passage: Yesterday was my day off work , so I decided to play some golf . Before I left for the golf course I checked to make sure my clubs were in good working order . They were , so I loaded them into my car and drove to the golf course . I played the game by hitting my ball towards the hole until it finally went in . As I played the game I selected different clubs depending upon where my ball was in relation to the hole . Sometimes I chose a wooden club and other times I chose a metal club . As the game went on I tallied up my score of a piece of paper so I could keep track of it . After I had played golf for awhile I decided that I was done , so I gathered up my clubs and drove home . Question: When did they play? Option1: after arriving to golf course Option2: before arriving to golf course

Answer:
after arriving to golf course
