Read and answer

Read the story, then answer.

A label for the toy boxYara and her friend Nico were making a label for the toy box. Nico needed the b and the x for the word box, and both are on the bottom row. He lifted his whole hand and jabbed, and oops, he hit the n! Then Mox the cat landed on the keyboard and walked along the bottom row: z, x, c, v, b, n, m, one paw on each key. Nico tried again. Only one finger curled down, tapped, and came straight back home, and his wrist stayed still. There was the word box on the screen.
