7. There are 40 balloons in this box. ______?
This seems like it’s asking for a question based on the statement. Maybe: “How many balloons are in the box?” But since it says “There are 40...”, perhaps it’s incomplete. Let’s assume it wants us to write a question that matches the fact.
Example: “How many balloons are in the box?” → Answer: 40
But since it’s written as “There are 40 balloons in this box. ______?”, maybe it’s expecting: “Are there 40 balloons in this box?” — but that doesn’t make sense with the period.
Wait — looking again, maybe it’s a typo or misformatting. Perhaps it meant: “There are 40 balloons in this box. How many are left if 10 pop?” — but no info given.
Actually, re-reading: It might be asking you to complete the sentence as a question. Like: “There are 40 balloons in this box. Are there really 40?” — but that’s not standard.
Alternatively, maybe it’s just testing if you know 40 is the number — so perhaps the blank is for “True” or something? No.
Looking at context — other questions are direct. This one might be: “There are 40 balloons in this box. ___?” meaning “Is that true?” — but without more info, best guess is it’s asking for confirmation or a related question.
Wait — perhaps it’s a trick? Or maybe it’s supposed to say “There are 40 balloons in this box. How many red ones are there?” — but no data.
I think the safest assumption is that it’s asking you to turn the statement into a question. So:
“There are 40 balloons in this box.” → Question form: “Are there 40 balloons in this box?”
But that feels odd. Alternatively, maybe it’s “How many balloons are in this box?” — which would match the answer 40.
Given the pattern, I think the intended question is: “How many balloons are in this box?”
✔ Answer: How many balloons are in this box?
*(Note: If your teacher expects a different format, check with them — but logically, turning the statement into a question makes sense here.)*

What number times itself equals 81? 9 × 9 = 81

---
9. What is the meaning of ‘nonsense’?
Nonsense means something that doesn’t make sense, is silly, or has no logical meaning.
✔ Answer: Something that does not make sense or is foolish
---
10. Do the words Stop and cars are basically opposites?
“Stop” is an action (to halt). “Cars” are vehicles. They’re not opposites — they’re unrelated categories. Opposites would be like stop/go, fast/slow.
✔ Answer: No
---
11. On the back of this sheet, draw a picture of your favorite toy house and color it!
This is a drawing task — you need to do this yourself on paper. I can’t draw for you, but you can sketch a simple house with windows, door, roof, and color it however you like!
---
12. Write the name above a picture of your family.
Again, this requires you to draw or paste a photo and write names. You’ll do this on your own paper.
---
13. Don’t forget the bathroom ground, trees and sky.
This seems like part of instruction #11 or #12 — reminding you to include background elements when drawing. Not a question to answer numerically.
---
14. Now that you have read all the directions twice and read the entire test (as egg-heads), write your name on the spot provided at the top and give this page to your teacher. Your hard work is appreciated by the teacher, and don’t let anyone else the secret of this test. Take out a mood to read on your homework and mark quietly. Do not make a noise or tell anyone! Whew!
This is final instructions — not a problem to solve. Just follow what it says: write your name, hand it in, stay quiet.
