Question

Miya came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes. She ran down to the cafeteria and asked the staff if they had any rice. Fortunately for Miya, Ms. Lucille did. Ms. Lucille filled a red plastic cup about half way with white rice grains and handed it to Miya. Miya pulled a damp phone from her back pocket and pushed it into the dry rice grains inside of the plastic cup. She sincerely thanked Ms. Lucille and then went back to class. She felt relieved, but she was still a little worried.

Answer 1

1. Miya was upset due to the fact she had dropped her phone in the toilet. How I know this is she was in the bathroom and needed to put her phone in rice which you do when your phone was submerged in water.

2. She put her phone in the cup of rice because the rice sucks the water out. How I know this is I have had to do this previously.

3. She was relieved because the rice helps most of the time but not always. How I know this is my first phone I dropped in water and had to put it in a cup of rice but it did not work. But it does work sometimes.


Hope this helps!!!
