To solve this problem, we need to look at each row of items and decide which one needs electricity to work. Electricity is a type of energy that powers machines like lights, heaters, and motors. Things that are just made of wood, plastic, or metal usually don't need electricity unless they have a plug or a battery.
Let's go through each row step by step:
Row 1:
*
Paperclip: This is a small piece of metal used to hold papers together. It does not need power.
*
Hairdryer: This machine blows hot air to dry hair. It has a motor and a heater inside, so it must be plugged into electricity to work.
*
Spoon: This is a tool for eating. It does not need power.
*
Key: This opens a lock. It does not need power.
* *Choice:* The
hairdryer.
Row 2:
*
Table: This is furniture made of wood. It does not need power.
*
Teddy Bear: This is a soft toy. It does not need power.
*
Vacuum Cleaner: This machine sucks up dirt from the floor. It has a strong motor inside that needs electricity to spin.
*
Book: This is for reading. It does not need power.
* *Choice:* The
vacuum cleaner.
Row 3:
*
Toaster: This kitchen appliance heats up bread to make toast. It uses electric coils to get very hot, so it needs electricity.
*
