Worked example: Where do plants make their food? → in their leaves
Read the passage: Plants make their own food in their leaves. To do this, they need sunlight, water and air. The roots take in water from the soil. The green colour in the leaves helps them catch sunlight. Animals cannot make their own food like plants do. That is why plants are very important for all living things.
Find the line with the answer: “Plants make their own food in their leaves.”
These words give the answer: in their leaves.
Check: The line “Plants make their own food in their leaves.” gives exactly “in their leaves” ✓
Read the passage carefully, find the line that gives the answer, then tap your choice. Stuck? Press “Show me how”.
