Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the best answer based on real-world knowledge.

1. The Height of a Ferris Wheel
Ferris wheels are big, but not as tall as skyscrapers or mountains.
- 7 meters is about 2 stories — too short for a real Ferris wheel.
- 80 meters is about 26 stories — that’s reasonable (like the London Eye is 135m, so 80m is plausible).
- 7000 meters is way too tall — that’s higher than Mount Everest!
- 1 km = 1000 meters — also way too tall.
✔ Best answer:
B. 80m

2. The Length of a Bed
Beds are made for people to lie down on.
- 75 inches = about 6 feet 3 inches — that’s a good length for a bed (standard twin bed is around 75 inches long).
- 8 meters = over 26 feet — way too long!
- 70 cm = less than 3 feet — too short for a person.
- 15 feet = 180 inches — still too long for a normal bed.
✔ Best answer:
A. 75 inches

3. The Height of the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is famous and very tall.
- 500m — close, but actually it’s a bit shorter.
- 330m — yes! That’s the actual height (including antenna, it’s about 330m).
- 700m — too tall.
- 100m — too short (that’s like a 30-story building).
✔ Best answer:
B. 330m

4. The Length of the Titanic
The Titanic was a huge ship.
- 500m — too long (modern cruise ships are around 300–400m).
- 269m — yes! The Titanic was about 269 meters long.
- 700cm = 7 meters — way too short (that’s a small boat).
- 100km — impossible! That’s longer than many cities.
✔ Best answer:
B. 269m

5. The Height of the Statue of Liberty
This statue is very tall, standing on an island in New York.
- 100 m — too tall (it’s not quite that high).
- 80 cm — less than 3 feet — way too short.
- 93 m — yes! From ground to torch, it’s about 93 meters.
- 10 km — ridiculous — that’s 10,000 meters!
✔ Best answer:
C. 93m
---
6. The Length of a Rattlesnake
Rattlesnakes are snakes — they can be long, but not kilometers long!
- 15 cm = about 6 inches — too short for most adult rattlesnakes.
- 1.5 m = about 5 feet — that’s a good size for a large rattlesnake.
- 1.2 km — no way! That’s over half a mile.
- 15 m — 50 feet — way too long for any snake.
✔ Best answer:
B. 1.5m

Final Answer:
1. B. 80m
2. A. 75 inches
3. B. 330m
4. B. 269m
5. C. 93m
6. B. 1.5m
