I feel green when I'm jealous, and red when I'm mad. I feel gray when I'm sick, and blue when I'm sad. I want to feel yellow. Yellow is happy like a flower. It's bright like the sun. Yellow is tangy like a lemon. It's a smile full of fun.

Which would be the best audience for this passage in a short story?

young children

college students

adults

teenagers

Well, the diction being used here is very elementary. For example, the use of colors and the correlated feelings to these colors might imply that it is for a younger audience. This alone is sufficient evidence to say that this story should be read to young children. Also, if you ever wonder what audience might like to hear this, imagine yourself reading this story to a room full of teach test group, then ask yourself: "which group would enjoy this story more?"
