Let’s solve this step by step.
First, look at the top part: “Count and choose the set of 2”. That means we need to find which boxes have exactly 2 items in them.
Go row by row:
- First row, left box: two hearts → that’s 2
✔
- First row, right box: three stars → that’s 3
✘
- Second row, left box: one diamond → that’s 1
✘
- Second row, right box: two crabs → that’s 2
✔
- Third row, left box: five circles → that’s 5
✘
- Third row, right box: one crown → that’s 1
✘
- Fourth row, left box: two paw prints → that’s 2
✔
- Fourth row, right box: two birds → that’s 2
✔
So the sets with exactly 2 items are:
→ Two hearts
→ Two crabs
→ Two paw prints
→ Two birds
Now, the bottom part says: “Make a set of 2 in the box.” There’s a big empty box next to the number 2, and below it are 5 green candies.
We need to pick exactly 2 candies and put them in the box (or imagine putting them there). Since we can’t move things on paper, we just select any 2 out of the 5.
It doesn’t matter which two — as long as we pick exactly 2.
Final Answer:
Pick any 2 green candies from the 5 shown and place them in the box. For example, you could choose the first and second candy, or the third and fifth — any pair works, as long as there are exactly 2.
