Solution

The answer is D: A brother and sister plant a vegetable garden in their backyard. They use a single shovel to dig in the earth and plant seeds and sprouts.

Explanation for each option:

A. A brother and sister want to plant a garden but have some difficulty. However, they work together to solve their problem and complete their task.

This option is incorrect because the passage does not mention a brother and sister working together or solving a problem. The passage focuses on the narrator's individual effort to prepare the garden.

B. A brother and sister harvest vegetables from a backyard garden. The family enjoys the vegetables they have grown.

This option is incorrect because the passage does not describe harvesting vegetables or the family enjoying them. It only describes the preparation phase of the garden.

C. A brother and sister enlist the help of a relative to finish a task. As they work, they run into a challenge.

This option is incorrect because there is no mention of a relative or any specific challenge encountered during the task. The passage focuses on the narrator's anticipation and preparation for gardening.

D. A brother and sister plant a vegetable garden in their backyard. They use a single shovel to dig in the earth and plant seeds and sprouts.

This option is the best summary because it accurately reflects the main activity described in the passage: the narrator preparing to plant a garden in the backyard using gardening tools.
