Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: A-e words exercise
Let me carefully match each picture to the correct “a-e” word from the list.

First, I’ll go through each image and think of what it shows, then find the matching word where the 'a' and 'e' make the long 'a' sound (like in *cake* — that’s the “a-e” pattern).

1. Smiling face → This is a *Face*. ✔️
2. Gate (iron gate) → That’s a *gate*. ✔️
3. Calendar showing April 28 → *date* (as in a day on the calendar). ✔️
4. Plate (decorated dish) → *plate*. ✔️
5. Kids racing → *race*. ✔️
6. Ape (gorilla-like animal) → *ape*. ✔️
7. Snake (cobra) → *snake*. ✔️
8. Birthday cake with candles → *cake*. ✔️
9. Man baking (taking something from oven) → *bake*. ✔️

All 9 words are used exactly once, and each fits the “a-e” pattern (long *a* sound):
- Face (F-a-c-e)
- gate (g-a-t-e)
- date (d-a-t-e)
- plate (p-l-a-t-e)
- race (r-a-c-e)
- ape (a-p-e) — note: this is a short word, but still follows a-e pattern (a is long here)
- snake (s-n-a-k-e)
- cake (c-a-k-e)
- bake (b-a-k-e)

So the correct matches are:

- Face → smiling face
- gate → iron gate
- date → calendar
- plate → dish
- race → kids running
- ape → monkey-like animal
- snake → cobra
- cake → birthday cake
- bake → man with oven

Final Answer:
Face, gate, date, plate, race, ape, snake, cake, bake
