📚 Topic Summary

In every good story, characters face problems. A problem is something that goes wrong or something a character wants to change. The solution is how the character fixes the problem or finds a way to deal with it. Spotting the problem and solution helps you understand the story better!

🧠 Part A: Vocabulary

Match the words with their meanings:

Term Definition
1. Problem A. The way the problem is fixed
2. Solution B. What causes the problem
3. Cause C. The result of the problem
4. Effect D. Something that goes wrong
5. Resolve E. To find a solution to (a problem or difficulty).

Match the correct term with the correct definition.

✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks

Read the paragraph and fill in the missing words. Words: problem, solution, solve, effect, cause

Once upon a time, a little girl named Lily lost her favorite teddy bear. The ______ was that she was very sad. The ______ of her sadness was losing her teddy bear. She decided to ______ the ______ by looking everywhere. Finally, she found it under her bed! The ______ was that she was happy again.
