Where are Brooke and Chelsea going to summer camp?

• A. Maine
• B. Vermont
• C. New Hampshire
• D. Florida

Answer: (A)

Figuring out where Brooke and Chelsea are headed relies on spotting direct mentions of a place or strong, distinctive clues about location in the story. Here, the text leans on signs you’d expect for a camp in Maine—coastal scenery with a rocky shoreline, lobster boats in the harbor, and the pine-scented air around the camp. Those cues are tightly tied to Maine and don’t match the typical imagery you’d associate with Florida (warm beaches and palm trees) or with inland Northeast states like Vermont or New Hampshire (mountains and different seasonal cues). So the clearest evidence points to a summer camp on the coast of Maine. If only general ideas were used, you’d weigh multiple clues, but the coastal, lobster-related details make Maine the best fit.
