Let’s go through each picture one by one and figure out what energy source it uses. The options are:
Wind, people, battery, fuel, or electric.
We’ll look at each item and think about how it gets its power.
---
Row 1:
1.
Power lines / electricity towers → These carry electricity from power plants to homes. So the energy source is
electric.
2.
Wind turbines → They spin when wind blows. So that’s
wind.
3.
Person carrying a box → A person is using their own muscle power. That’s
people.
4.
Propane tank (gas canister) → This holds fuel like propane for grills or heaters. So that’s
fuel.
---
Row 2:
5.
Kids on a swing set → Kids push themselves or each other — they’re using their bodies. That’s
people.
6.
Gas pump → It pumps gasoline into cars. Gasoline is a type of fuel. So that’s
fuel.
7.
Electric fan → You plug it in or use batteries, but most fans like this run on electricity from an outlet. So that’s
electric.
8.
Washing machine → Plugs into the wall — runs on electricity. So that’s
electric.
---
Row 3:
9.
Airplane → Most airplanes run on jet fuel. So that’s
fuel.
10.
Hair dryer → Plugs into the wall — uses electricity. So that’s
electric.
11.
Exercise bike → You pedal it with your legs — powered by people. So that’s
people.
12.
Flashlight → Usually runs on batteries. So that’s
battery.
---
Row 4:
13.
Watch (analog wristwatch) → Many watches run on small batteries. Unless it’s solar or mechanical, we assume battery. So that’s
battery.
14.
Garbage truck → Runs on diesel or gasoline — both are fuels. So that’s
fuel.
15.
Hand-crank flashlight or radio → You turn the crank with your hand — that’s human power. So that’s
people.
16.
TV remote control → Uses small batteries inside. So that’s
battery.
---
Now let’s double-check any tricky ones:
- Flashlight? Yes, usually battery-powered unless specified otherwise.
- Watch? Same — standard analog watch = battery.
- Hand-crank device? Definitely people — you have to turn it.
- Exercise bike? People pedaling — yes.
- Airplane? Fuel — correct.
- Garbage truck? Fuel — correct.
Everything checks out.
Final Answer:
Row 1: electric, wind, people, fuel
Row 2: people, fuel, electric, electric
Row 3: fuel, electric, people, battery
Row 4: battery, fuel, people, battery
