Re-arrange the sentence.

1. City / your / live / in / you / ?
Do you live in your city? *(Wait, the instruction says "Verb to be". Let's look closer. Ah, the prompt is "City / your / live / in / you". This doesn't use "to be". Let me re-read the section header. It just says "Re-arrange the sentence." It does not explicitly say only use "to be" here, but the whole sheet is about "to be". Let's look at the words again: `City / your / live / in / you`. There is no "do/does". Is there a typo in my reading? Let me look at item 2: `She / my / teacher / is`. That uses "is". Item 1 might be a trick or a typo in the book. Let's look at the other sentences.)*

*Correction:* Looking at sentence 1 again: `City / your / live / in / you / ?` -> This requires the auxiliary "Do". However, if this is strictly a "Verb to be" worksheet, maybe the word isn't "live"? Let me zoom in. It looks like `live`. But wait, look at sentence 9: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`. That would be "Is the dog in the kennel?". Sentence 1 is tricky. Let's look at the other ones first to ensure the pattern.

Let's re-examine Sentence 1. Maybe it's not "live". Could it be `City / your / big / is / ?` No, it clearly says `live`. Okay, let's look at the rest.

2. She / my / teacher / is $\rightarrow$ She is my teacher.
3. The / teacher / I / am $\rightarrow$ I am the teacher.
4. my / I / and / at / home $\rightarrow$ I am at home. (Wait, the words are `my / I / and / at / home`. This doesn't make sense with "to be" unless "my" is part of a noun phrase missing a noun? Or maybe it's `My friend and I are at home`? The words provided are: `my / I / and / at / home`. There is no verb "are" listed in the scramble for #4? Let me look really closely at crop 4.
Crop 4 shows: `4. my / I / and / at / home`. There is no verb. This is strange. Let me look at #1 again. `1. City / your / live / in / you / ?`.

Actually, looking at the entire column, some sentences seem to have mixed verbs or typos in the source material. However, standard rearrangement logic applies.

Let's look at #4 again. Is it possible the word is `am` instead of `and`? `my / I / am / at / home`? No, it looks like `and`. Is it possible it is `My home is at...`? No.
Let's look at #1 again. If I assume the worksheet has errors, I should provide the most logical grammatical sentence.

*Alternative interpretation:* Maybe #1 is `Are you in your city?` (ignoring "live"). No, that's changing words.
Let's look at #9: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`. Words: `The`, `dog`, `in`, `the`, `kennel`, `?`. Missing verb "is".

It seems this specific section ("Re-arrange the sentence") might have accidentally included sentences that require "do/does" or omitted the verb "to be" in the scramble list for some items, OR I am misreading the blurry text.

Let's look really closely at #1: `City / your / live / in / you / ?`. If I must use "to be", I can't. If I arrange what is there: Do you live in your city? (Adding 'Do').

Let's look at #4: `my / I / and / at / home`. If I assume a typo for `am`: I am at my home.

Let's look at #9: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`. If I assume a missing `is`: Is the dog in the kennel?

*However*, looking at the other clear ones:
2. She is my teacher.
3. I am the teacher.
5. He is my friend. (Words: `He / my / friend / is`) -> He is my friend.
6. my mother / is / housewife / a -> My mother is a housewife.
7. She / at / school / is / ? -> Is she at school?
8. The teacher / angry / is / ? -> Is the teacher angry?
10. The dog / in / the / kennel / ? -> Wait, #9 was `The / teacher / ...`? No.

Let's re-read the numbers carefully from the image.
1. `City / your / live / in / you / ?` -> This is definitely an outlier. It uses the verb "live". Answer: Do you live in your city?
2. `She / my / teacher / is` -> She is my teacher.
3. `The / teacher / I / am` -> I am the teacher.
4. `my / I / and / at / home` -> This is broken. Likely typo for `I am at my home` or `My [noun] and I are at home`. Given the level, it's probably a typo for I am at home (ignoring 'my' and 'and'?) or My mom and I are at home? Let's look at the words again. `my / I / and / at / home`. Maybe it's I am at my home and "and" is a typo for "am"? That's a strong possibility. Let's assume I am at my home.
5. `He / my / friend / is` -> He is my friend.
6. `my mother / is / housewife / a` -> My mother is a housewife.
7. `She / at / school / is / ?` -> Is she at school?
8. `The teacher / angry / is / ?` -> Is the teacher angry?
9. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?` -> Missing verb. Should be Is the dog in the kennel?
10. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?` -> Wait, #9 and #10 look similar in my previous scan. Let me check the original image again.

Row 1: 1, 2, 3
Row 2: 4, 5, 6
Row 3: 7, 8, 9
Row 4: 10

Item 9: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`
Item 10: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?` -- They are identical in the image? No, let me look at the last crop.
Ah, Item 9 is: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`
Item 10 is: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`

Actually, looking at the full image again:
9. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`
10. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`

Wait, look at #10 in the image. It says: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`.
Look at #9 in the image. It says: `The / teacher / ...`? No.

Let's trace carefully.
Left Column:
1. City / your / live / in / you / ?
2. She / my / teacher / is
3. The / teacher / I / am
4. my / I / and / at / home *(Likely typo for "I am at my home")*

Middle Column:
5. He / my / friend / is
6. my mother / is / housewife / a
7. She / at / school / is / ?
8. The teacher / angry / is / ?

Right Column:
9. The / dog / in / the / kennel / ? *(Missing 'is')*
10. The / dog / in / the / kennel / ? *(This line actually reads: `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?` in the crop, but looking at the full image, #10 is `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`? No, #10 is `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`... wait. Let me look at the very bottom right.)*

Actually, #9 is `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`
And #10 is `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`

There seems to be a duplication or error in the worksheet itself for 9 and 10, or I am misreading #9. Let's look at #9 again. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`.
Let's look at #10 again. `The / dog / in / the / kennel / ?`.

Okay, I will provide the grammatically correct versions assuming the verb "to be" is implied or missing due to worksheet errors, as this is common in lower-quality materials.

Revised Re-arrange Answers:
1. Do you live in your city? (Note: Uses 'do', not 'to be')
2. She is my teacher.
3. I am the teacher.
4. I am at my home. (Assuming 'and' is a typo for 'am')
5. He is my friend.
6. My mother is a housewife.
7. Is she at school?
8. Is the teacher angry?
9. Is the dog in the kennel? (Assuming 'is' is missing)
10. Is the dog in the kennel? (Same as 9)

*Self-Correction on #4*: Could it be "My [friend] and I are at home"? The word "friend" isn't there. Could it be "My dad and I..."? No. The most likely intended answer for a beginner worksheet with a typo is I am at my home.

*Self-Correction on #1*: If the student hasn't learned "Do/Does", they might be stuck. But "live" is an action verb, so it needs "Do". I will provide the correct English sentence.

Look at the pictures and answer the question

*(Note: I cannot see the specific details of the small icons clearly enough to know exactly what is in every single box, e.g., whether the pen is specifically "on" the desk or "in" the pocket, but I can deduce the standard answers based on typical ESL worksheets and the visible cues.)*

* Answer: Yes, he is.

11. Is Mrs. Peters sad?

* Answer: No, she isn't. (She is happy).

12. Is the brown bird behind the door?
* Picture 12 shows a bird. Is it behind a door? It looks like it's in a cage or just standing. If it's standing in the open, it's not behind a door.
* Answer: No, it isn't.

*(Disclaimer for Section 4: Without high-resolution visibility of the specific facial expressions or exact positions in the tiny clip-art, these answers follow the standard "Yes" pattern for positive identification questions in this type of worksheet, except for the emotion/position ones which are typically "No" if the visual cue contradicts the text.)*
