I don't know about 2, but 3 and 4 seem correct. Actually, for 4, you can choose more than one answer. Do you want to add others to what you decided?

1. You are correct. The example of a commotion in this scenario would be a group of shoppers in an uproar about a popular item that was advertised but not available. To determine this, you can analyze the options given and look for the one that describes a situation where people are agitated or causing a disturbance.

2. Based on the provided passage, the information helps you predict that in Grandpa's eyes, Martin has become a man. To arrive at this conclusion, you can analyze the dialogue and narrative. Grandpa mentions that he will give Martin the medicine bag the next day, which is a significant symbol in many Native American cultures representing the passing down of knowledge and responsibility from one generation to another.

3. The action that best illustrates the theme of the story is when Martin goes to the reservation to replace the sacred sage. By visiting the reservation and participating in the ritual, Martin demonstrates his respect for his heritage and willingness to carry on his grandfather's traditions. This aligns with the underlying theme of cultural identity and connection to one's roots.

4. The elements of a story that can help you predict what it will be about are the title, tone of the first paragraph, and illustrations and captions. The author's names are not typically indicative of the story's content. By analyzing the title, you can often gain insight into the subject matter or key themes. The tone of the first paragraph sets the mood and gives hints about the direction of the story. Illustrations and captions can provide visual cues and clues about the story's content and plot.
