Let's solve the problem step by step.
The task asks you to
number the stages of the life cycle of animals in the correct order for two different animals:
1.
Frog (shown in the top diagram)
2.
Butterfly (shown in the bottom diagram)
We are given four key life cycle stages:
-
REPRODUCE
-
BORN
-
GROW
-
DIE
We need to assign numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) to these stages based on the
correct sequence of the life cycle.

🔹 Step 1: Understand the Life Cycle of a Frog
From the diagram:
1.
Eggs → laid by adult frogs
2.
Tadpole → hatches from egg
3.
Froglet → young frog
4.
Adult frog → mature frog
Now let’s match this to the stages:
-
Born: The tadpole is born from the egg →
Step 1
-
Grow: Tadpole grows into froglet, then into adult frog →
Step 2
-
Reproduce: Adult frog reproduces and lays eggs →
Step 3
-
Die: Eventually, the adult frog dies →
Step 4
✔ So for the
frog, the correct order is:
-
1. BORN
-
2. GROW
-
3. REPRODUCE
-
4. DIE
But wait — the instructions say to number the
words listed on the left side:
> □ REPRODUCE
> □ BORN
> □ DIE
> □ GROW
So we must number them in the correct order.
For
frog:
1.
BORN → when the tadpole hatches
2.
GROW → from tadpole → froglet → adult
3.
REPRODUCE → adult frogs lay eggs
4.
DIE → end of life
So fill in the boxes:
- REPRODUCE →
3
- BORN →
1
- DIE →
4
- GROW →

🔹 Step 2: Life Cycle of a Butterfly
From the diagram:
1.
Eggs → laid on a leaf
2.
Larva (caterpillar) → hatches from egg
3.
Chrysalis (pupa) → caterpillar transforms
4.
Adult butterfly → emerges
Stages:
-
Born: Egg hatches → larva →
Step 1
-
Grow: Larva eats and grows, then becomes chrysalis, then adult →
Step 2
-
Reproduce: Adult butterfly lays eggs →
Step 3
-
Die: Adult butterfly eventually dies →
Step 4
So the correct order is:
1.
BORN
2.
GROW
3.
REPRODUCE
4.
DIE
Now, the words below the butterfly diagram are:
- BORN
- REPRODUCE
- GROW
- DIE
We need to number them in the correct order.
So:
- BORN →
1
- REPRODUCE →
3
- GROW →
2
- DIE →
4

✔ Final Answer:
#### For the
frog (top section):
- REPRODUCE →
3
- BORN →
1
- DIE →
4
- GROW →
2
#### For the
butterfly (bottom section):
- BORN →
1
- REPRODUCE →
3
- GROW →
2
- DIE →
4

📝 Summary:
Top (Frog):
- REPRODUCE → 3
- BORN → 1
- DIE → 4
- GROW → 2
Bottom (Butterfly):
- BORN → 1
- REPRODUCE → 3
- GROW → 2
- DIE → 4
✔ This reflects the natural life cycle:
Born → Grow → Reproduce → Die for both animals.
