This is a complete fictional source for a small helper job. A pretend art table has a shallow blue tray and a tall cardboard box. A new helper needs to carry paper picture cards to the story mat. The supplied helper answer says, ‘I choose the shallow blue tray because I can see the cards.’ This answer was supplied for the task; no real person was interviewed. Yesterday, Lee wrote the answer on a card. Tomorrow, Lee plans to add a tray label. The label has not been made. A drawing description shows a tray with visible paper cards and a separate blank label card. Nothing in the source says which container is strongest or waterproof. A question should help this helper decide about the card-carrying job. A message can report the supplied answer and separately offer a new idea.

Manual mode: all four own boxes work normally. Read the same-page source or use the matching four-question paper sheet. No automatic saving or marking.

Q1 · Write or say one question that helps this helper choose a container for the paper cards.

Q2 · Report the helper’s supplied choice and reason in one or two sentences.

Q3 · Explain whether Lee has already made the tray label. Point to the words that help.

Q4 · Add one new suggestion and show with words that it is your suggestion, not the helper’s answer.
