Let’s go through each question one by one and figure out the answers together.

---

Question 1: Which word below is a compound word?

A compound word is made when two or more words are joined to make a new word with a new meaning.

- preschool = pre + school → YES, it’s a compound word.
- homemade = home + made → YES, also a compound word.
- moment → just one word, not made of two separate words.
- beautiful → one word, not compound.

Wait — both A and B look like compound words. But let’s check carefully.

Actually, “preschool” is often considered a compound word (pre-school), and “homemade” is definitely home + made.

But in many school tests, they expect only ONE correct answer. Let’s see which one is *most clearly* a compound word.

“Homemade” is very clearly two full words: “home” and “made”.

“Preschool” can be seen as “pre” (a prefix) + “school”, so sometimes it’s called a prefixed word, not always a true compound.

In elementary level, “homemade” is usually taught as a classic example of a compound word.

So best answer: B. homemade

Question 2: What words make up the compound word dragonfly?

Dragonfly = dragon + fly

That’s straightforward.

Option A says: dragon and fly → Correct!

Others are wrong:
- B: drag, on, and fly → no, that breaks it incorrectly.
- C: dra, gone, and fly → nonsense.
- D: butter and fly → that’s for butterfly!

Answer: A. dragon and fly

Question 3: Which word is not a compound word?

Let’s check each:

- happiness = happy + ness → “ness” is a suffix, not a real word by itself here. So NOT a compound word.
- firefly = fire + fly → YES, compound.
- blueberry = blue + berry → YES, compound.
- butterfly = butter + fly → YES, compound.

So the one that is NOT a compound word is happiness.

Answer: A. happiness

Question 4: Choose the compound word

Check each:

- zipper → one word, not made of two.
- candle → one word.
- banana → one word.
- toothbrush = tooth + brush → YES! Compound word.

Answer: D. toothbrush

Question 5: Is baseball a compound word?

Baseball = base + ball → two real words combined → YES.

Answer: A. Yes

---

Question 6: Is sunshine a compound word?

Sunshine = sun + shine → two real words → YES.

Even though there’s a picture of a smiling sun, that doesn’t change the word.

Answer: B. yes
