Read this sentence from Chapter One of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild. The Judge was at a meeting of the Raisin Growers' Association, and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club, on the memorable night of Manuel's treachery. What is a good prediction question to ask after reading this sentence?

The sentence says the Judge and the boys are occupied elsewhere on the night Manuel betrays Buck. A good prediction question uses that clue to ask what Manuel might do while the family is away. Choice A, “What does Manuel do to Buck while the family is away?” connects directly to the coming treachery; the other choices focus on details that do not help predict what happens next.
