Educational worksheet for matching book genres to their definitions, featuring book cover images and genre labels.

Explanation:
We need to match each book genre (from the list at the top) to its correct definition (in the boxes below), using the clues and examples given.

Let’s go row by row, matching definitions to genres:

1. “A book that tells a story”
→ This is the broadest definition — *all* fiction books tell a story, but among the listed genres, NOVEL is the most general term for a full-length fictional narrative.
✔ So: Novel

2. “It is usually short and focuses on one character or event”
→ That describes SHORT STORIES (short form, focused scope).
✔ So: Short Stories

3. “A story where the reader has to solve a puzzle”
→ Classic mystery/detective fiction (e.g., Agatha Christie).
✔ So: Mystery / Detective Stories

4. “A story about future, technology, space travel or time travel”
→ That’s clearly SCIENCE FICTION (e.g., *The War of the Worlds*, *Journey to the Center of the Earth* — though Jules Verne is sometimes called proto-sf, it fits here).
✔ So: Science Fiction

5. “Horror stories about crime and murder”
→ This matches THRILLER/SUSPENSE (thrillers often involve crime, tension, danger; suspense builds anticipation — and many overlap with crime/horror).
Note: “Mystery/Detective” is more about solving puzzles; this one emphasizes horror + crime → better fit for Thriller/Suspense.
✔ So: Thriller/Suspense

6. “A funny story with a happy ending”
→ That’s a HUMOUROUS STORY (humorous = funny; happy ending reinforces lighthearted tone).
✔ So: Humourous Story

7. “A romantic story about love and relationship”
→ Direct match: LOVE STORY
✔ So: Love Story

8. “A story about an exciting journey of the main character”
→ Classic ADVENTURE STORY (e.g., *Treasure Island*, *Harry Potter* — quests, exploration, action).
✔ So: Adventure Story

9. “A serious and emotional play for theatres or TV”
→ Plays are scripts for performance; this defines DRAMA (not to be confused with “drama” as everyday word — in literature, drama = stage plays, often emotional/serious).
✔ So: Drama

Now let’s verify all 9 genres are used once:
- Adventure Story ✔ (box 8)
- Drama ✔ (box 9)
- Love Story ✔ (box 7)
- Science Fiction ✔ (box 4)
- Short Stories ✔ (box 2)
- Novel ✔ (box 1)
- Thriller/Suspense ✔ (box 5)
- Mystery / Detective Stories ✔ (box 3)
- Humourous Story ✔ (box 6)

All match perfectly.

Final Answer:
Novel
Short Stories
Mystery / Detective Stories
Science Fiction
Thriller/Suspense
Humourous Story
