Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given two columns:
Left column: choose between fr or fl
Right column: choose between gr or gl

For each row, we look at the picture and the word with a blank. We need to pick the correct consonant blend that makes a real word matching the picture.

---

Row 1:
- Left: Picture of a frog → word is “____og” → must be fr → frog
- Right: Picture of glue → word is “____ue” → must be gl → glue

✔ So: fr, gl

---

Row 2:
- Left: Picture of a flower → word is “____ower” → must be fl → flower
- Right: Picture of grapes → word is “____apes” → must be gr → grapes

✔ So: fl, gr

---

Row 3:
- Left: Picture of a frame (picture frame) → word is “____ame” → must be fr → frame
- Right: Picture of glass (of water) → word is “____ass” → must be gl → glass

✔ So: fr, gl

---

Row 4:
- Left: Picture of fruits → word is “____uits” → must be fr → fruits
- Right: Picture of grass → word is “____ass” → must be gr → grass

✔ So: fr, gr

---

Row 5:
- Left: Picture of a fly → word is “____y” → must be fl → fly
- Right: Picture of a globe → word is “____obe” → must be gl → globe

✔ So: fl, gl

---

Row 6:
- Left: Picture of a flag → word is “____age” → must be fl → flag? Wait — “flage” isn’t right. Actually, it’s flag, but the word here is written as “____age”. Hmm… maybe it’s fl + age = flage? That doesn’t sound right.

Wait — let’s think again. The word might be flag, but the blank is before “age”, so perhaps it’s fl + age? But “flage” isn’t a common word.

Actually — looking again: the picture is a red flag. The word should be flag. But the worksheet says “____age”. That suggests the word is fl + age = flage? No, that’s not standard.

Wait — maybe it’s a typo? Or perhaps it’s meant to be fl for “flag”, even though it says “age”? Let me check the other side.

Right side: green splat → probably “green” → word is “____een” → must be gr → green

So left: if it’s “____age” and picture is flag → maybe it’s fl → flage? Not quite. Unless... oh! Maybe it’s fl + ag + e? Still not helping.

Wait — perhaps the word is flag, and the “e” is part of the ending? Like “fl” + “ag” + “e”? But that’s stretching.

Alternatively — could it be fr? “frage”? No.

Hold on — let’s look back at Row 3: “____ame” was frame → fr + ame = frame. So similarly, “____age” → if it’s flag, then it should be “fl” + “ag” + “e”? But “flage” isn’t a word.

Wait — I think there might be a mistake in my assumption. Let me double-check the image description from the user.

Actually, re-examining: the sixth row left has a red flag, and the word is “____age”. In English, “flag” does not end with “age”. But “fl” + “age” = “flage” — which is not correct.

Unless... is it possible that the word is fl + ag + e meaning “flag”? But that’s not how spelling works.

Wait — perhaps it’s fl for “flag”, and the “e” is silent or something? No.

Another idea: maybe the word is fl + a + ge? Still no.

Let me consider: what words end with “age” and start with fr or fl?

- “Fridge” — no.
- “Flange” — yes! Flange is a word — it means a projecting rim or edge. But the picture is a flag, not a flange.

That doesn’t match.

Perhaps it’s a trick? Or maybe I misread the picture.

Wait — let’s look at the right side: green splat → “____een” → definitely gr → green

So for left, if it’s a flag, and the word is “____age”, maybe it’s intended to be fl → assuming “flage” is accepted for “flag”? That seems wrong.

Alternatively — could it be fr? “Frag” + “e”? “Frag” is short for fragment, but not related to flag.

I think there might be an error in the worksheet, but since this is for a student, and based on common blends:

In many such worksheets, “flag” is paired with “fl”, even if the suffix is slightly off. Perhaps the “e” is a typo, and it should be “____ag” for “flag”.

But the worksheet clearly says “____age”.

Wait — another possibility: the word is fl + a + ge = flage — which is an old spelling or variant? Unlikely for elementary level.

Let me check online or recall: is there a word “flage”? Yes, actually — “flage” is a rare word, but more commonly, in some contexts, it might be used. But for kids, it’s probably meant to be “flag”.

Given that all other rows make sense, and this is likely a minor issue, I’ll go with fl for the flag, assuming the “e” is either a mistake or part of the blend practice.

Similarly, in Row 3, “frame” is fr + ame — so “ame” is the rest. Here, “age” is the rest, so fl + age = flage — which we'll accept for the sake of the exercise.

Alternatively, perhaps the picture is not a flag but something else? The user said “red flag”, so I’ll stick with that.

To resolve: let's see the pattern. All left column words:

Row 1: frog → fr
Row 2: flower → fl
Row 3: frame → fr
Row 4: fruits → fr
Row 5: fly → fl
Row 6: ? → should be fl for flag, even if "flage" is awkward.

Perhaps the word is fl + ag + e and they want us to ignore the mismatch.

I think for educational purposes, we’ll put fl for left, gr for right.

So final decision:

Row 6:
- Left: fl (for flag, despite "age")
- Right: gr (for green)

✔ So: fl, gr

---

Now compiling all answers:

Row 1: fr, gl
Row 2: fl, gr
Row 3: fr, gl
Row 4: fr, gr
Row 5: fl, gl
Row 6: fl, gr

Final Answer:
fr, gl
fl, gr
fr, gl
fr, gr
fl, gl
fl, gr
