Every brushstroke held a memory: the orange was the color of his fishing boat, the purple was the lavender he grew in his garden.\n\nWhen her art teacher selected her work for the school art show, Mira was terrified. What if people didn\'t understand? What if they criticized it? On the night of the show, she stood in the corner, watching strangers examine her painting.\n\nAn elderly woman stopped in front of it for a long time. Finally, she approached Mira. "This painting," the woman said softly, "it feels like love. Like missing someone and holding onto them at the same time."\n\nMira\'s eyes filled with tears. "It\'s about my grandfather."\n\nThe woman smiled. "I could tell. True art speaks what words cannot." She squeezed Mira\'s hand and moved on. For the first time, Mira understood why artists share their work - not for praise, but for connection.'); // Question 1 form.addMultipleChoiceItem() .setTitle('Question 1: Which sentence BEST summarizes the plot of this story?') .setChoiceValues([ 'A.

Urban farming - the practice of growing food within city limits - is gaining popularity worldwide as a solution to food access, environmental, and community challenges.\n\nUrban farms take many forms. Rooftop gardens grow vegetables atop apartment buildings. Vertical farms stack crops in tall warehouses using LED lights instead of sunlight. Community gardens transform vacant lots into productive green spaces where neighbors work side by side.\n\nThe benefits extend beyond just producing food. Urban farms reduce the environmental impact of transporting food long distances - the average meal in America travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate. They also provide green spaces that absorb rainwater, reduce urban heat, and improve air quality. Perhaps most importantly, they increase access to fresh produce in "food deserts" - neighborhoods where grocery stores with fresh food are scarce.\n\nChallenges remain, including limited space, soil contamination, and the high cost of land in cities. However, innovative solutions continue to emerge. Hydroponic systems grow plants without soil, making contaminated land usable. Shipping containers are converted into climate-controlled growing spaces.'); // Question 6 form.addMultipleChoiceItem() .setTitle('Question 6: What is the MAIN IDEA of this article?') .setChoiceValues([ 'A.
