Answer key and explanations
She opens her bedroom window
The passage says “Primero, abre la ventana de su cuarto,” so opening the window is the first action.
Toast with tomato
The fifth sentence states that she eats “una tostada con tomate.”
She picks up her backpack
The seventh sentence says María takes her backpack; the next sentence says she leaves home.
María is getting ready to leave
Luna waits by the door just before María takes her backpack and leaves, which supports this inference.
