True or False: Worms have teeth.
- A.
True

Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Worms do not have teeth. They do not possess any hard structures for biting or chewing. Instead, worms have a muscular organ called the pharynx that helps them suck in food particles and organic matter from the soil. They break down the food internally using enzymes and bacteria present in their digestive system. Therefore, the statement "Worms have teeth" is false.Rate this question:

Look at the pictures in the very front and back of the book. Use the pictures to answer the following question. Worm's family went on vacation to:
- A.
The playground.
- B.
A compost pile.
- C.
A garden.
- D.
Spider's house.
Correct Answer
B. A compost pile.Explanation
The correct answer is a compost pile. This can be inferred from the fact that the question asks to use the pictures in the book to answer the question. Since the question mentions Worm's family, it can be assumed that the pictures would show Worm and his family on their vacation. A compost pile would be a logical place for worms to go on vacation, as it provides a suitable habitat for them. The other options, such as the playground, garden, and spider's house, would not be suitable vacation spots for worms.Rate this question:
