Question 24 - Score Point 1

The constructed response explains that Lucy Cooke "most likely likes" the rain forest "a lot." It recognizes that she knows she is a visitor and "is not annoyed by the animals" but is fascinated by them. Overall, details are lacking, and there is little evidence to support why Lucy likes the rain forest. The response demonstrates a minimal understanding of the reading material.
