Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using what we know about spring and the word bank.
First, look at the sentence:
“There are __________ months of spring. March, April and __________.”
We know spring has 3 months — March, April, and May. So first blank =
3, second blank =
May.
Next:
“Spring comes after __________ and before __________.”
Seasons go: winter → spring → summer. So spring comes after
winter and before
summer.
Then:
“Farmers plant __________ in the spring.”
Farmers plant seeds in spring to grow crops. So blank =
seeds.
Next:
“Flower __________ will come out in the spring.”
Flowers start as buds before they bloom. So blank =
buds.
Then:
“The days and nights are almost the same in the __________. This is called the __________.”
In spring (and fall), day and night are equal — that happens during the equinox. The spring one is called the vernal equinox, but here it just says “equinox”. So first blank =
spring, second blank =
equinox.
Last part:
“Animals that migrate come __________ and animals that hibernate __________ in the spring.”
Migrating animals return home in spring. Hibernating animals wake up. So first blank =
home, second blank =
wake up.
Now let’s check the word bank to make sure we used only words from there:
- wake up
✔
- May
✔
- winter
✔
- summer
✔
- home
✔
- seeds
✔
- buds
✔
- spring
✔
- equinox
✔
All match!
Final Answer:
There are
3 months of spring. March, April and
May.
Spring comes after
winter and before
summer.
Farmers plant
seeds in the spring. Flower
buds will come out in the spring. The days and nights are almost the same in the
spring. This is called the
equinox.
Animals that migrate come
home and animals that hibernate
wake up in the spring.
