DIRECTIONS: Read the passage and answer the questions.

“You have to water the tomatoes in the morning, not in the

afternoon or night.” Tina told her brother Tino. And stop playing
computer games. He nodded, but he was not actually paying
attention. “They need much water in the morning so please water
them in the morning.” She continued. "Yeah, yeah, water the
plants," Tino said with frustration. Tina was going to their aunt for
two weeks and was counting on his brother. He had been
irresponsible in the past. All he wanted to do was to play
computer games. But she was giving a chance. She heard that
gardening was helpful and Tino needs it to forget about playing
games. While she was gone, Tino stopped by the garden once or
twice but after three days, he lost interest. When Tina went home,
the first thing she did was check out his garden.
