Based on the text provided in the worksheet, here is the solution to the questions visible on the right-hand page.
Step 1: Analyze the text for the first question.
The first question asks: "What is an invention?"
Looking at the reading passage on the left page, the very first sentence says: "When something new is made, it is called an invention."
- Option
a says "something new that is created." This matches the text perfectly.
- Option
b says "a certificate to prove you made something." This is incorrect; a certificate is a document, not the invention itself.
Step 2: Analyze the text for the second question.
The second question asks: "Who invented the first car?"
Looking at the second paragraph on the left page, it says: "Karl Benz invented the car in 1886."
- Option
a is Henry Ford.
- Option
b is Karl Benz. This matches the text.
Step 3: Analyze the text for the third question.
The third question asks: "What makes the inventor of the television special?"
Looking at the third paragraph on the left page, it says: "The television inventor was only 21 years old when the first TV came out in 1927!"
- The image below the question shows a TV and says "He was only 21 years old."
- Option
a is "the camera." The text says George Eastman invented the camera, not the TV inventor.
- Option
b is "windshield wipers." The text mentions wipers as an example of improvements, but not as something that makes the inventor special.
- The correct answer based on the text is his age (21 years old). Although the multiple-choice options for this specific question are cut off in the image, the text clearly highlights his age as the special fact. However, looking at the layout, the options "a. the camera" and "b. windshield wipers" appear to belong to a different question or are distractors. Wait, let me re-read carefully.
- Ah, the options "a. the camera" and "b. windshield wipers" are actually floating at the bottom left. They seem to be answers to a different question or just misplaced. Let's look at the question "What makes the inventor of the television special?". The text says he was 21. The image says "He was only 21 years old".
- Let's re-examine the options at the bottom left: "a. the camera", "b. windshield wipers". These don't fit the question about the TV inventor being special.
- Let's look at the question again. "What makes the inventor of the television special?"
- The text says: "The television inventor was only 21 years old..."
- The image shows a TV and says "He was only 21 years old".
- Therefore, the answer is that he was very young (21).
