The way that Johnny drinks water is relevant to the plot of the story because if he did not drink out of mugs, he would not have broken his sister's favorite mug.

10. The passage ends with the following sentence: "He had liked it better when he was bored." Explain why Johnny feels this way by using evidence from the passage.

Answers may vary and should be supported by the passage.

Since Johnny hates jigsaw puzzles, trying to put the mug back together is a chore. He does not encounter these problems when he is bored. So, being bored may seem like a better option to him by the end of the story.
