Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Safety Signs Worksheets - Functional Reading for Community Signs ...
Final Answer:
Bus — 🚌
Men — ♂
H — Hospital
Don’t Walk — 🚶‍♂️ with slash (or “Don’t Walk” symbol)
No bikes — 🚲 with slash
Airport — ✈️
Escalator — ↗️ (or escalator icon)
Trance — (likely a typo; should be “Entrance” → door icon)

But based on the visible word bank and matching icons in the worksheet:

Correct matches are:
- 🚌 → Bus
- ♂ (walking person) → Men
- H → Hospital
- 🚫🚶 (person with slash) → Don’t Walk
- 🚲 with slash → No bikes
- ✈️ → Airport
- ↗️ (escalator drawing) → Escalator
- Door with tree/entrance drawing → Entrance (word likely cut off as “trance”)

Since the instruction is to *cut and paste the word next to the matching picture*, and the word bank includes:
trance, Men, HOSPITAL, LK, Don’t Walk, No bikes, Airport, Escalator

“LK” is likely part of “WALK” (but “Don’t Walk” is already there), and “trance” is almost certainly “Entrance” (common sign: door + arrow or building entrance).

So final matched pairs:
1. Bus icon → Bus
2. Walking man icon → Men
3. “H” icon → HOSPITAL
4. Person with red slash icon → Don’t Walk
5. Power symbol (circle with line) → *Not in word bank* — wait, rechecking:

Actually, looking carefully at the icons on the right column:
- ✈️ → Airport
- Escalator drawing → Escalator
- Power symbol (⏻) → likely *not used* or misaligned
- No bikes (bike with slash) → No bikes
- Door/building with tree → Entrance (so “trance” = Entrance)
- H icon → Hospital
- Walking person → Men
- Bus → Bus
- “Don’t Walk” symbol (man in red) → Don’t Walk

The word bank has exactly 8 words, and there are 8 pictures.

Matching definitively:
- 🚌 → Bus
- 🚶 (with slash/red) → Don’t Walk
- H → HOSPITAL
- ♂ (man walking) → Men
- 🚲 with slash → No bikes
- ✈️ → Airport
- Escalator drawing (stairs with arrows) → Escalator
- Door/building icon → trance → must be Entrance (typo; student should use “trance” as given, but intended word is Entrance)

However, per instructions: *use the words provided*. The sheet lists:
trance, Men, HOSPITAL, LK, Don’t Walk, No bikes, Airport, Escalator

“LK” is almost certainly “WALK”, but “Don’t Walk” is already present. Possibly “LK” is a red herring or error — but in standard versions of this worksheet, the 8 words are:
Bus, Men, Hospital, Don’t Walk, No bikes, Airport, Escalator, Entrance.

Given that, and the visual match, the correct pairing is:

Bus ↔ 🚌
Men ↔ walking person icon
Hospital ↔ H
Don’t Walk ↔ red pedestrian symbol
No bikes ↔ bike with slash
Airport ↔ airplane
Escalator ↔ escalator drawing
Entrance ↔ door/building icon (labeled “trance” due to cutoff)

Since the task is to write the word next to the picture, and we must choose from given words, the answer is the list of correct matches.

But the user asks to *solve the problem* — meaning fill in the blanks.

Assuming the worksheet has 8 blank boxes beside 8 icons, the correct words in order (left column top to bottom, then right column top to bottom) are:

1. Bus
2. Men
3. HOSPITAL
4. Don’t Walk
5. (next blank) — likely “trance” for entrance
6. No bikes
7. Airport
8. Escalator

However, to be precise and safe: the only unambiguous matches are:

- 🚌 → Bus
- ♂ (person walking) → Men
- H → HOSPITAL
- 🚫🚶 → Don’t Walk
- 🚲🚫 → No bikes
- ✈️ → Airport
- ↗️ stairs → Escalator
- Door icon → trance (intended: Entrance)

Since the question is to solve it, and in such worksheets “trance” is a known typo for “Entrance”, we assign “trance” to the entrance sign.

Final Answer:
Bus, Men, HOSPITAL, Don’t Walk, trance, No bikes, Airport, Escalator
