Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Comparison of Adjectives Worksheet 1
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best adjective from the list:
new, old, long, short, small, ugly

---

1. It’s a ______ train.
Look at picture 1 — it shows a train with many cars behind it. That means it’s not short — it’s long.
Answer: long

2. It’s an ______ kite.
Picture 2 shows a big colorful kite flying high. But look at the tail — it has many little pieces trailing behind. The whole thing looks stretched out… so maybe “long”? Wait — but we already used “long” for the train? Actually, no — we can reuse words if needed? Let’s check the instructions... It doesn’t say we can’t reuse. But let’s see what fits best.
Actually, looking again — the kite itself is large and its tail is very long. So “long” could work here too. But wait — in picture 6 there’s a tiny train — that might be “small”. Let’s hold on.
Wait — maybe this kite is just normal size? Hmm. Actually, looking at the options — perhaps “old”? No, it looks bright and new. Maybe “ugly”? No, it’s pretty.
Wait — actually, let’s think differently. In picture 3, there’s a tiny boat next to a huge cliff — that’s clearly “small”. Picture 6 has a tiny train — also “small”. So maybe we need to use “small” twice? Or maybe not.
Let’s reassign carefully.

Actually, let’s match based on obvious visual clues:

- Picture 1: Train with many cars → long
- Picture 2: Kite with long tail → still long? But maybe they want different adjectives. Wait — the kite is flying high and looks fine — maybe “new”? But picture 5 has a shiny bike — that’s more obviously “new”.

Hold on — let’s do this systematically.

List of images and most fitting adjective:

1. Train with many carriages → long
2. Kite with long tail → could be “long”, but maybe they expect “old”? No, it looks fine. Wait — actually, looking at the kite — it’s torn or ragged? No, it looks okay. Maybe “big”? Not in list. Only given: new, old, long, short, small, ugly.

Wait — perhaps picture 2 is meant to be “old”? Doesn’t look old. Maybe “ugly”? No.

Alternative idea: Maybe picture 2 is “long” because of the tail — yes, that makes sense.

But then picture 6 is a tiny train — definitely “small”.

Picture 3: Tiny sailboat next to giant waterfall → small

Picture 4: Green witch-like doll with weird face → ugly

Picture 5: Shiny green bike with sparkles → new

Picture 6: Tiny purple train → small — but we already have two “small”? Is that allowed? The worksheet doesn’t say you can’t repeat. But let’s check if another word fits better.

Wait — picture 6 train is small, but maybe “short”? A short train usually means few cars — which it has (only 2). Whereas picture 1 has 5+ cars → long.

So:

- Picture 1: long train (many cars)
- Picture 6: short train (few cars) → YES! That works better than using “small” twice.

Then picture 3: tiny boat → small

Picture 2: kite — now, what’s left? We’ve used: long, small, ugly, new, short. Left: old

Does the kite look old? Not really — but maybe compared to others? Alternatively, maybe I misassigned.

Let me try assigning uniquely first:

Available adjectives: new, old, long, short, small, ugly — 6 words, 6 sentences → likely one per sentence.

So assign each once.

Try:

1. Train with many cars → long
2. Kite — ? If not long, then maybe old? But why? Unless the tail is frayed? In the image, the tail has separate pieces — maybe it’s broken or old-fashioned? Possibly.
3. Boat next to huge cliff → small
4. Weird green doll → ugly
5. Sparkly bike → new
6. Tiny train with 2 cars → short (since it has few cars, not necessarily physically short length-wise, but in terms of number of carriages)

That leaves “old” for the kite.

Is the kite old? Looking at picture 2 — the kite is red and yellow, flying, tail has multiple bows — doesn’t scream “old”. But maybe in context, since all other slots are filled, and “old” must go somewhere — perhaps it’s the least bad fit.

Alternatively, swap: make kite “long” and train #6 “small”.

But then we have two “small” if we give boat and train both “small” — but we only have one “small” in the list? No, the list has each word once, but we can choose any for any blank — repetition isn’t forbidden, but typically in such worksheets, they expect unique usage if equal numbers.

Given 6 blanks and 6 distinct adjectives, likely intended to use each once.

So final assignment:

1. long (train with many cars)
2. old (kite — perhaps implied by style or condition? Or maybe it's the only one left)
Wait — let’s look again at picture 2: the kite is flying, but the tail seems to have loose ends or is fluttering wildly — maybe it’s worn out? Possible.

Alternatively, maybe “ugly” for kite? But picture 4 is clearly uglier.

I think the intended answers are:

1. long
2. old — even if not perfect, it’s the leftover
3. small
4. ugly
5. new
6. short

Yes, that uses all six.

Confirming:

- #1: long train ✔️
- #2: old kite — acceptable as last resort
- #3: small boat ✔️ (tiny compared to cliff)
- #4: ugly doll ✔️ (green skin, strange features)
- #5: new bike ✔️ (shiny, sparkles)
- #6: short train ✔️ (only two cars)

Perfect.

Final Answer:
1. long
2. old
3. small
4. ugly
5. new
6. short
