Let’s go through each sentence one by one and think about which word makes sense: “longer” or “shorter”.

1. The key is ___ than the paper plane.
Look at the pictures: the key is small, the paper plane is bigger (especially in length). So the key is *shorter* than the paper plane.

2. The screwdriver is ___ than the pizza part.
The screwdriver is long and straight. The pizza slice is triangular and shorter from tip to crust. So the screwdriver is *longer*.

3. The hand is ___ than the ice-cream.
A hand (even a child’s) is usually taller/longer than a single scoop of ice cream on a cone. So the hand is *longer*.

4. The car is ___ than the boat.
The car shown is a regular-sized vehicle. The boat is a tiny toy sailboat. So the car is *longer*.

Now let’s write down our answers clearly:

Final Answer:
