Let’s solve each scrambled sentence one by one. Remember: start with the red circle and draw a line through the circles to make a complete, sensible sentence.
---
First Section (Orange Words):
Red circle starts with “the”
Available words:
- the (red)
- walked
- the
- tiger
- on
- path
We need to build a sentence starting with “the”.
Try:
“the tiger walked on the path” → That makes sense!
Check order:
Start at red “the” → then “tiger” → then “walked” → then “on” → then “the” → then “path”
Yes — that uses all words and forms a correct sentence.
✔ First sentence:
The tiger walked on the path.
---
Second Section (Blue Words):
Red circle starts with “the”
Available words:
- walked
- tiger
- the (red)
- on
- path
- the
- dirt
Start with “the”
Try:
“the tiger walked on the dirt path” → Makes sense!
Order:
Start at red “the” → then “tiger” → then “walked” → then “on” → then “the” → then “dirt” → then “path”
Wait — we have two “the”s? Let’s check:
Words given:
- walked
- tiger
- the (red)
- on
- path
- the
- dirt
So yes — two “the”s. We can use both.
Sentence: “The tiger walked on the dirt path.”
That’s 7 words — matches the 7 circles.
✔ Second sentence:
The tiger walked on the dirt path.

Third Section (Green Words):
Red circle starts with “the”
Available words:
- the (red)
- huge
- tiger
- the
- dirt
- path
- was
- on
- quickly
- walking
Start with “the”
Try building:
“The huge tiger was walking quickly on the dirt path.”
Check word count:
1. the (red)
2. huge
3. tiger
4. was
5. walking
6. quickly
7. on
8. the
9. dirt
10. path → Wait, that’s 10 words. But how many circles are there?
Looking back:
Row 1: the, huge, tiger → 3
Row 2: the, dirt, path, was → 4
Row 3: on, quickly, walking → 3
Total = 10 circles → Yes, 10 words.
Our sentence: “The huge tiger was walking quickly on the dirt path.” → 10 words. Perfect.
Is it grammatically correct? Yes.
Does it start with the red “the”? Yes.
✔ Third sentence:
The huge tiger was walking quickly on the dirt path.

Final Answer:
