Let’s solve this step by step.

Q.1: Label the diagram to classify animals.

The top of the diagram splits animals into two groups:
- Left side: “have a backbone” → These are called Vertebrates
- Right side: “don’t have a backbone” → These are called Invertebrates

So, we label the two big boxes at the top as:
→ Left box: Vertebrates
→ Right box: Invertebrates

Now, look at the animals shown under “Vertebrates” (left side). There are 5 animals:
1. Cow — mammal
2. Bird — bird
3. Fish — fish
4. Snake — reptile
5. Frog — amphibian

These are all vertebrates, and they belong to different classes within vertebrates.

So, under each animal, we write its class:

→ Cow: Mammal
→ Bird: Bird
→ Fish: Fish
→ Snake: Reptile
→ Frog: Amphibian

(Note: The right side has no animals shown under “Invertebrates”, so we don’t need to label anything there for Q.1.)

Q.2: Fill in the blanks

a) All living things are classified into ______ main groups called kingdoms.

→ In basic biology, living things are divided into 5 main kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Monera (or sometimes 6 with Archaea). But for school level, it’s usually 5.

Answer: five

b) The two main groups of animals are ______ and ______.

→ From the diagram and basic classification: Vertebrates and Invertebrates

Answer: vertebrates, invertebrates

c) Vertebrates have ______ inside their bodies.

→ The diagram says “have a backbone”, so the answer is backbone (or “spine”, but “backbone” matches the worksheet language).

Answer: backbone

Final Answer:

Q.1:
Top left box: Vertebrates
Top right box: Invertebrates
Under animals (left to right): Mammal, Bird, Fish, Reptile, Amphibian

Q.2:
a) five
b) vertebrates, invertebrates
c) backbone
