2What problem do Michael and Sam face with their first go-kart prototype?
It is too slow.
It is too fast.
It is too small.
It breaks apart easily.
3The second time Michael and Sam test their go-kart, they are satisfied with its speed.
Which sentence supports this idea?

“Sam pressed his foot down on the pedal, expecting the go-kart to shoot forward out of the garage and into the parking lot.”
“Michael, Sam, and John needed to think about ways to maximize the go-kart for its speed: what aspects of their original design were unnecessary?”
“Michael snapped on a pair of swimming goggles, revved the engine, and made sure to take the emergency break off.”
“All of a sudden, Michael sped out into the parking lot, and Sam ran after him with a big smile.”
4Why might using a small engine instead of a large engine have increased the go-kart’s speed?
The small engine was built for a go-kart, but the large engine was built for a lawnmower.
The small engine was easier for Sam and Michael to carry and work with than the large engine.
The small engine used more fuel than the large engine did.
The small engine did not weigh the go-kart down as much as the large engine did.
