Question

Erik rang his grandparents’ doorbell and silently wished the next four hours would go by quickly. He didn’t want to give up his entire Saturday afternoon at his grandparents’ house where there were no kids in the neighborhood.

“_______1. There’s tea and cake in the dining room, ” Grandma Bethany said, opening the door.

“__________3.” Erik asked.

“It’s a game room,” Grandpa Bill said. “Take the key and see if you can find the room.”

Grandpa Bill shook his head._________ 4.

“No,” Erik said.
