Synonym matching worksheet themed around a circus, designed for educational use.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are matching each word on the left (1–13) with two synonyms from the list on the right (a–z, aa). Synonyms mean words that have similar meanings.

Let’s go one by one:

---

1. funny
→ Means something that makes you laugh or is amusing.
Look for words like: humorous, hilarious
Check list:
- c. hilarious ✔
- k. humorous ✔
So: c, k

---

2. amazing
→ Something very impressive or wonderful.
Look for: wonderful, awesome
Check list:
- g. wonderful ✔
- n. awesome ✔
So: g, n

---

3. inexpensive
→ Not expensive; cheap.
Look for: cheap, affordable
Check list:
- i. cheap ✔
- l. affordable ✔
So: i, l

---

4. delicious
→ Tastes really good.
Look for: tasty, delectable
Check list:
- a. tasty ✔
- h. delectable ✔
So: a, h

---

5. applaud
→ To clap hands to show approval.
Look for: clap, praise
Check list:
- q. clap ✔
- x. praise ✔
So: q, x

---

6. perform
→ To do something in front of an audience — act, entertain.
Look for: entertain, present? Wait — “present” might not fit. Let’s see:
Actually, “perform” = to put on a show → entertain, maybe “prestidigitator”? No, that’s a person.
Wait — look at options:
e. entertain ✔
t. present? Hmm… “present” can mean to show something, but not quite same as perform.
Wait — what about “line”? No.
Actually, let’s check again:
Maybe “entertain” and... is there another?
Wait — option t is “present” — sometimes performers “present” a show. But better match?
Wait — actually, looking back:
Option e: entertain ✔
And... perhaps “line”? No.
Wait — maybe I missed something.
Hold on — let’s skip and come back if needed.

Actually, let’s think: “perform” can also mean to carry out — but in circus context, it’s about entertaining.
Another possibility: “prestidigitator” is a magician — no.
Wait — maybe “tumbler”? That’s a person too.
Hmm. Maybe only one clear synonym? But we need two.

Wait — let’s look at the full list again.

Actually, perhaps “present” isn’t right. What about “clap”? No.
Wait — maybe I made a mistake earlier.

Alternative idea: “perform” = to do an act → could be “entertain” and... maybe “line”? As in “do your line”? Not really.

Wait — let’s check online or common synonyms: perform ≈ entertain, execute, carry out — but in this list, only “entertain” fits well.

But wait — option t is “present” — and in theater, you “present” a performance. So maybe acceptable.

But let’s hold off and do others first.

Actually, let’s try:

6. perform → e. entertain ✔ and t. present? Maybe. Or perhaps s. jester? No, that’s a person.

Wait — maybe I should consider that some words may not have perfect matches, but we must pick two.

Alternatively, let’s look at #7.

---

7. audience
→ People watching a show.
Synonyms: viewers, spectators
Check list:
- j. viewers ✔
- w. spectators ✔
So: j, w

---

8. magician
→ Someone who does magic tricks.
Synonyms: illusionist, prestidigitator
Check list:
- z. illusionist ✔
- r. prestidigitator ✔
So: r, z

---

9. acrobat
→ Someone who does flips, balances — gymnast, tumbler
Check list:
- d. gymnast ✔
- u. tumbler ✔
So: d, u

---

10. clown
→ Funny performer, joker
Synonyms: fool, jester
Check list:
- b. fool ✔
- s. jester ✔
So: b, s

---

11. tightrope
→ A rope walked on high up — associated with “line”? In circus, “tightrope” is sometimes called “the line”?
Actually, “tightrope” = a thin rope — so synonym might be “wire”
Check list:
- f. wire ✔
- p. line? Sometimes “walk the line” means tightrope — yes!
So: f, p

---

12. elephant
→ Large animal — pachyderm, mammoth
Check list:
- o. pachyderm ✔ (scientific term for thick-skinned animals like elephants)
- y. mammoth ✔ (though mammoth is extinct, often used to mean huge elephant-like creature)
So: o, y

---

13. tiger
→ Big cat — feline, cat
Check list:
- v. feline ✔
- m. cat ✔
So: m, v

---

Now go back to #6. perform

We have:
Left: perform
Right options left unused? Let’s see which ones we haven’t used yet.

Used so far:

From above assignments:

1. c,k
2. g,n
3. i,l
4. a,h
5. q,x
6. ?
7. j,w
8. r,z
9. d,u
10. b,s
11. f,p
12. o,y
13. m,v

Unused letters: e, t, and maybe others?

List all right-side options: a to z, aa — total 26 + 1 = 27? Wait, labeled a to z is 26, then aa is 27th.

But we have 13 words × 2 = 26 matches needed. So one extra? Or maybe I miscounted.

Actually, the right side has: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,aa → that’s 27 items.

We need 26 matches (13×2), so one will be left over.

Now, for #6 perform — what’s left?

Available: e, t, and maybe others? Let’s list used:

Used: a,h (for 4); b,s (10); c,k (1); d,u (9); e? not used; f,p (11); g,n (2); h used; i,l (3); j,w (7); k used; l used; m,v (13); n used; o,y (12); p used; q,x (5); r,z (8); s used; t? not used; u used; v used; w used; x used; y used; z used; aa? not used.

So unused: e, t, aa

Now, for “perform” — best matches from remaining: e. entertain ✔, and t. present? Or aa. ??? aa is not defined — wait, in the image, last is “aa. illusionist” — but we already used z for illusionist? Wait no — in my assignment for #8 magician, I used r and z — z is illusionist.

But aa is listed as “illusionist” again? Probably typo or duplicate.

Looking back at original image description:
Right column ends with:
...
w. spectators
x. praise
y. mammoth
z. illusionist
aa. ??? — in user input it says “aa.” but no word? Wait in initial problem statement:

In the user’s text:
“z. illusionist” — and that’s the last? But in the image description, it might be cut off.

Wait — in the original problem as given by user:

After “z. illusionist” — nothing else? But in the list, it goes to “aa.” — probably a formatting error.

Assuming “aa” is not valid or duplicate, we’ll ignore.

So available: e, t

For “perform”:
e. entertain — definitely correct.
t. present — can work in context: “The performer will present his act.” So acceptable.

Thus: e, t

Perfect.

Now double-check all:

1. funny → c. hilarious, k. humorous
2. amazing → g. wonderful, n. awesome
3. inexpensive → i. cheap, l. affordable
4. delicious → a. tasty, h. delectable
5. applaud → q. clap, x. praise
6. perform → e. entertain, t. present
7. audience → j. viewers, w. spectators
8. magician → r. prestidigitator, z. illusionist
9. acrobat → d. gymnast, u. tumbler
10. clown → b. fool, s. jester
11. tightrope → f. wire, p. line
12. elephant → o. pachyderm, y. mammoth
13. tiger → m. cat, v. feline

All matched. No duplicates. All make sense.

Final Answer:

1. c, k
2. g, n
3. i, l
4. a, h
5. q, x
6. e, t
7. j, w
8. r, z
9. d, u
10. b, s
11. f, p
12. o, y
13. m, v
