Let’s solve each nursery rhyme by picking the word that rhymes with the last word in the line before the blank.
---
First rhyme:
> Jack and Jill
> went up the ___ ___ ___ .
The line ends with “Jill” — so we need a word that rhymes with “Jill”.
Look at the choices:
- hat → does not rhyme with Jill
- bell → does not rhyme with Jill
- hill → YES! “hill” rhymes with “Jill”
So, the answer is:
hill
(Also, this is a famous nursery rhyme — everyone knows it goes “up the hill”!)

Second rhyme:
> One, two, three, four, five,
> once I caught a fish ___ ___ ___ .
The line ends with “five” — so we need a word that rhymes with “five”.
Choices:
- six → no
- alive → YES! “alive” rhymes with “five”
- fins → no
Also, the full rhyme is: “Once I caught a fish alive” — makes sense because you catch a fish while it’s still living!
Answer:
alive

Third rhyme:
> Hickory, dickory, dock,
> the mouse ran up the ___ ___ ___ .
Line ends with “dock” — need a word that rhymes with “dock”.
Choices:
- dog → no
- sock → no
- clock → YES! “clock” rhymes with “dock”
And again, this is a well-known rhyme — the mouse runs up the clock!
Answer:
clock

Final Answer:
