Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to match each clock on the left and right with the correct time written in the middle.

First, remember how to read an analog clock:
- The short hand is the hour hand.
- The long hand is the minute hand.
- When the minute hand points to 12, it’s “o’clock” — meaning exactly that hour.

Now let’s go one by one.

Left column clocks (top to bottom):

1. Short hand on 1, long hand on 12 → one o’clock
2. Short hand on 3, long hand on 12 → three o’clock
3. Short hand on 9, long hand on 12 → nine o’clock
4. Short hand on 5, long hand on 12 → five o’clock
5. Short hand on 7, long hand on 12 → seven o’clock
6. Short hand on 11, long hand on 12 → eleven o’clock

Right column clocks (top to bottom):

1. Short hand on 4, long hand on 12 → four o’clock
2. Short hand on 2, long hand on 12 → two o’clock
3. Short hand on 6, long hand on 12 → six o’clock
4. Short hand on 8, long hand on 12 → eight o’clock
5. Short hand on 12, long hand on 12 → twelve o’clock
6. Short hand on 10, long hand on 12 → ten o’clock

Now we can match them all correctly.

Final Answer:
Left column matches (top to bottom):
→ one o’clock
→ three o’clock
→ nine o’clock
→ five o’clock
→ seven o’clock
→ eleven o’clock

Right column matches (top to bottom):
→ four o’clock
→ two o’clock
→ six o’clock
→ eight o’clock
→ twelve o’clock
→ ten o’clock
