9. Apples in a basket
- Picture: A basket with apples

- Since the focus is on the
apples, and they were already used earlier, we still go with the
beginning sound of "apples", which is
A
✔ Answer:
A
> Note: Even though it’s a basket, the items inside are apples — so the intended word is likely
apples, starting with
A.
