2. Stratus
3. Cumulus
4. Cumulonimbus

Explanation:
Let’s go step by step using the pictures and what we know about cloud types:
1. The first cloud (top left) is thin, wispy, and feathery — like hair or threads high in the sky. That’s a
Cirrus cloud. Cirrus clouds are high-level and made of ice crystals.
2. The second cloud (bottom left) is long, flat, and stretched out like a layer or sheet — often covering the whole sky like a blanket. That’s a
Stratus cloud. Stratus clouds are low-level and usually gray or white.
3. The third cloud (top right) is puffy, rounded, and looks like cotton balls with flat bases. That’s a
Cumulus cloud. Cumulus clouds are low-level and often appear on fair-weather days.
4. The fourth cloud (bottom right) is tall, dark, and looks like a big tower or mountain — it can grow very high and bring thunderstorms. That’s a
Cumulonimbus cloud. It’s a vertical cloud that starts low but can reach high into the atmosphere.
Now for the multiple-choice questions:
1. There are
4 main types of clouds: Cirrus, Stratus, Cumulus, and Cumulonimbus → answer: ii. 4
2. High-level clouds include Cirrus (and also Cirrostratus, Cirrocumulus), so
Cirrus is correct → i. Cirrus
3. Low-level clouds include Stratus, Stratocumulus, and Cumulus →
Cumulus is a low-level cloud → iii. Cumulus
4. Blanket-like, uniform grey or white low clouds are
Stratus → i. Stratus
