Let’s count each object carefully.
We are looking for:
- Xylophone (with mallets)
- Harp
- Bells (three hanging bells)
- Music book (open with notes)
- Horn (curved brass instrument)

Go row by row in the big box:
Row 1:
1. Harp
2. Horn
3. Bells
4. Music book
5. Xylophone
6. Harp
7. Bells
8. Horn
9. Harp
10. Music book
→ So far:
Harp: 3
Horn: 2
Bells: 2
Music book: 2
Xylophone: 1
Violin: 0
Row 2:
11. Xylophone
12. Music book
13. Violin
14. Horn
15. Music book
16. Horn
17. Violin
18. Xylophone
→ Add to totals:
Xylophone: +2 → total 3
Music book: +2 → total 4
Violin: +2 → total 2
Horn: +2 → total 4
Harp: still 3
Bells: still 2
Row 3:
19. Horn
20. Violin
21. Harp
22. Violin
23. Bells
24. Xylophone
25. Horn
26. Harp
27. Music book
28. Violin
→ Add to totals:
Horn: +2 → total 6
Violin: +3 → total 5
Harp: +2 → total 5
Bells: +1 → total 3
Xylophone: +1 → total 4
Music book: +1 → total 5
Wait — let me recount everything together to be sure.
List all items from left to right, top to bottom:
Row 1 (10 items):
1. Harp
2. Horn
3. Bells
4. Music book
5. Xylophone
6. Harp
7. Bells
8. Horn
9. Harp
10. Music book
Row 2 (8 items? Wait — actually, looking again, it's 3 rows but not equal length? Let me count total objects first.)
Actually, better to list every single one and tally:
I’ll go column by column or just scan entire grid.
Total objects in the big rectangle:
Let me number them as I see them visually (left to right, top to bottom):
1. Harp
2. Horn
3. Bells
4. Music book
5. Xylophone
6. Harp
7. Bells
8. Horn
9. Harp
10. Music book
11. Xylophone
12. Music book
13. Violin
14. Horn
15. Music book
16. Horn
17. Violin
18. Xylophone
19. Horn
20. Violin
21. Harp
22. Violin
23. Bells
24. Xylophone
25. Horn
26. Harp
27. Music book
28. Violin
That’s 28 objects.
Now tally:
Xylophone: positions 5, 11, 18, 24 →
4
Harp: 1, 6, 9, 21, 26 →
5
Bells: 3, 7, 23 →
3
Music book: 4, 10, 12, 15, 27 →
5
Horn: 2, 8, 14, 16, 19, 25 →
6
Violin: 13, 17, 20, 22, 28 →
5
Double-check:
Xylophone: 4 ✔️
Harp: 5 ✔️
Bells: 3 ✔️
Music book: 5 ✔️
Horn: 6 ✔️
Violin: 5 ✔️
Total: 4+5+3+5+6+5 = 28 ✔️
So counts are:
- Xylophone: 4
- Harp: 5
- Bells: 3
- Music book: 5
- Horn: 6
- Violin: 5
Now answer the questions:
“What object is there the most of?” → Horn (6)
“What object is there the least of?” → Bells (3)
Final Answer:
Counts:
Xylophone: 4
Harp: 5
Bells: 3
Music book: 5
Horn: 6
Violin: 5
Most: Horn
Least: Bells
