Let’s solve each part step by step.

---

Part A: Match pictures to sentences

We look at each picture and pick the best matching sentence from the box.

Picture 1: Two kids, one holding a biscuit out to the other → “Have a biscuit.”
Picture 2: Kid in bed with thermometer, adult saying something → likely “Don’t cry so loudly.” (sick child being comforted)
Picture 3: Kid sitting at desk, looking stressed or focused → “Sit down!” (teacher telling student to sit)
Picture 4: Kid covering mouth while coughing/sneezing → “Breathe deeply.” (maybe trying to calm breathing) — wait, actually, this might be better matched to “Open your mouth, please.” if it’s a doctor visit? But no tissue or doctor... Hmm. Let’s recheck.

Wait — Picture 4 shows a kid on a couch, maybe sick, with an adult nearby. Could be “Don’t forget your book”? No, that doesn’t fit. Actually, let’s list all pictures clearly:

Actually, let me number them as shown:

Box has:
- Have a biscuit.
- Open your mouth, please.
- Breathe deeply.
- Don’t forget your book.
- Sit down!
- Don’t cry so loudly.

Pictures:

1 → Girl offering biscuit to boy → Have a biscuit.

2 → Boy in bed, girl beside him, he looks sad/crying → Don’t cry so loudly.

3 → Teacher pointing at seated student → Sit down!

4 → Boy on floor, maybe after falling? Or stretching? Wait — actually, looking again: Picture 4 is a boy lying on his back, arms up — maybe doing exercise? Then “Breathe deeply” fits.

But wait — original image description says:

Picture 4: Boy lying on back, arms raised — could be yoga/exercise → “Breathe deeply.”

Picture 5: Doctor examining boy’s throat → “Open your mouth, please.”

Picture 6: Girl walking away, boy calling after her, she forgot something → “Don’t forget your book.”

Yes! That makes sense.

So:

1 → Have a biscuit.
2 → Don’t cry so loudly.
3 → Sit down!
4 → Breathe deeply.
5 → Open your mouth, please.
6 → Don’t forget your book.

All match logically.

Part B: Fill in blanks using imperative

Imperative = base verb form. For negative, use “Don’t + base verb”.

Sentences:

1. ______ (not speak) so loudly. → Don’t speak

2. ______ (study) harder or you’ll fail the exam. → Study

3. ______ (do) your homework straight away. → Do

4. ______ (not forget) your story book. → Don’t forget

5. ______ (pay) attention to the teacher. → Pay

6. ______ (not play) in the classroom. → Don’t play

7. ______ (go) and ______ (play) in the playground. → Go, play

Note: Last one is two verbs — both imperatives. “Go and play” is correct.

---

Part C: Use clues in parentheses to fill blank with correct imperative form

Clues are like: (take/you) → means subject is “you”, so just use base verb.

Remember: Imperative for “you” is just the base verb. No “to”, no “s”, no “ing”.

Also, for negative: “Don’t + base verb”

Let’s go:

1. ______ the elevator! (take/you) → Take

2. ______ to the airport! (you/go) → Go

3. ______ the teacher. (ask/you) → Ask

4. ______ a bus! (catch/we) → Wait — clue says “(catch/we)” — but imperative is usually for “you”. If it’s “we”, we’d say “Let’s catch...” but the instruction says “use the imperative form”. In English, imperative for “we” is not standard unless using “Let’s”. But since the clue says “(catch/we)”, and the task says “fill in the blank with the correct imperative form”, perhaps they mean treat it as command to “us” — which would be “Let’s catch...”

But looking at the pattern of other clues — all others are “you” except this one and next.

Check:

5. ______ at the driver! (wave/you) → Wave

6. ______ the book! (open/you) → Open

Now #4: (catch/we) — if we follow strict imperative rules, “we” isn’t used in direct commands without “let’s”. But maybe in this context, they want “Catch” anyway? Or perhaps it’s a typo?

Wait — let’s read the instruction again: “Use the clues in parentheses and fill in the blank with the correct imperative form.”

In many school worksheets, even if clue says “we”, they still expect the base verb because imperative is directed at listener (implied “you”). But here, “catch/we” suggests the speaker includes themselves.

Actually, in some contexts, “Catch a bus!” can be said to a group including self — like “Come on, catch a bus!” — so maybe still “Catch”.

Similarly, #5: (wave/you) → Wave

#6: (open/you) → Open

But #4: (catch/we) — I think safest is to use “Catch” — because imperative form doesn’t change for “we” in basic exercises; it’s assumed to be addressing the listener.

Alternatively, maybe they want “Let’s catch” — but the blank is single word? Looking at layout, probably expects one word.

Looking at other examples in Part B and C — all are single-word imperatives except where two verbs are given.

In Part C, all blanks seem to expect one word.

So for (catch/we), likely still Catch

Same for any “we” — imperative is same form.

Actually, let’s confirm with grammar rule: The imperative mood in English uses the base form of the verb regardless of subject, because the subject “you” is implied. Even if clue says “we”, in classroom exercises, they often still expect the base verb.

Moreover, in the example at top: “Open your books.” — implied “you”.

So I’ll go with base verb for all.

Thus:

1. Take
2. Go
3. Ask
4. Catch
5. Wave
6. Open

But wait — #4 says “(catch/we)” — if we’re being precise, and if the worksheet allows “Let’s”, then “Let’s catch” — but the blank may not have space. Since the instruction doesn’t specify, and other clues are “you”, perhaps “we” is a trick.

Another thought: Maybe “(catch/we)” means the action is done by “we”, so the command is to “us” — which requires “Let’s”.

But in the answer format, if we write “Let’s catch”, that’s two words. The blank might be designed for one word.

Looking back at the image description — in Part C, the blanks are short lines, likely expecting one word.

Also, in the initial explanation box: “The Imperative is the Infinitive without to.” — so they emphasize base verb.

Therefore, despite “we” in parentheses, I believe they still want the base verb: Catch

Same logic applies if there were “they” — still base verb, though grammatically odd.

So final decisions:

Part C:

1. Take
2. Go
3. Ask
4. Catch
5. Wave
6. Open

---

Now, compiling all answers.

Final Answer:

A)
1. Have a biscuit.
2. Don’t cry so loudly.
3. Sit down!
4. Breathe deeply.
5. Open your mouth, please.
6. Don’t forget your book.

B)
1. Don’t speak
2. Study
3. Do
4. Don’t forget
5. Pay
6. Don’t play
7. Go, play

C)
1. Take
2. Go
3. Ask
4. Catch
5. Wave
6. Open
