1) Join:

We need to match the images on the left with the correct word in the middle, and then link them to the image on the right.

Here are the images:

- Top left: A mummified cat → This is a mummy.
- Middle left: Carved symbols on stone → These are hieroglyphs.
- Bottom left: A river running through a green landscape → This is the Nile river.

Now, the words in the center:
- Pharaoh
- Hieroglyphs
- Nile
- Pyramid
- Mummy

And the images on the right:
- Top right: Golden mask of a pharaoh → This is a Pharaoh.
- Bottom right: A large pyramid → This is a Pyramid.

So, let’s match:

1. Mummified cat → Mummy → (This connects to the concept of mummies)
2. Hieroglyphs → The carved symbols → (This matches the image of writing)
3. Nile → The river image → (Matches the river)
4. Pharaoh → Golden mask → (This is a famous pharaoh, like Tutankhamun)
5. Pyramid → The pyramid image → (Clearly matches)

✔ So the correct joins are:
- Mummified cat → Mummy
- Carved symbols → Hieroglyphs
- River → Nile
- Golden mask → Pharaoh
