Let’s go through each pair of groups one by one.

We need to count how many items are in each group, then pick the group with fewer items (the “lowest” number).

---

Row 1: Ice Cream Cones

Left group: Let’s count — 1, 2, 3, 4 → 4 ice creams

Right group: 1, 2 → 2 ice creams

→ Lower number is 2 → Circle the right group.

---

Row 2: Lollipops

Left group: Count them — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 → 5 lollipops

Right group: 1, 2, 3, 4 → 4 lollipops

→ Lower number is 4 → Circle the right group.

---

Row 3: Books

Left group: Green book, blue book, red book, small green book → that’s 4 books? Wait — let’s look again.

Actually:
- One big green “abc” book
- One small green “colours” book
- One blue “123” book
- One red “colours” book

That’s 4 books on the left.

Right group:
- One purple “abc” book
- One yellow “colours” book

That’s 2 books

→ Lower number is 2 → Circle the right group.

Row 4: Crayons

Left group: Let’s count carefully:

From left to right:
1. yellow
2. purple
3. violet
4. blue
5. orange
6. red
7. green
8. pink
9. yellow
10. purple
11. violet
12. blue

Wait — that’s 12 crayons? Let me recount visually from the image description:

Actually, looking at the layout:

Left side has:
- yellow, purple, violet, blue, orange, red, green, pink, yellow, purple, violet, blue → yes, 12 crayons.

Right group:
- red, green, pink, yellow, purple, violet, blue → that’s 7 crayons.

Wait — let’s list them:

Right group:
1. red
2. green
3. pink
4. yellow
5. purple
6. violet
7. blue

Yes — 7 crayons

Left group: I think I miscounted earlier. Let’s do it again slowly.

Looking at the original image description for bottom row:

Left:
yellow, purple, violet, blue, orange, red, green, pink, yellow, purple, violet, blue → that’s 12.

But wait — maybe some are duplicates or arranged differently? Actually, no — we just count total objects.

So left = 12, right = 7 → lower is 7 → circle the right group.

BUT — hold on! The instruction says: “circle the lowest group” — meaning the group with the smallest number of items.

In every row so far, the RIGHT group had fewer items.

Is that always true?

Let’s double-check Row 4.

Actually, re-examining the crayon section:

Left group: There are 12 crayons listed above.

Right group: 7 crayons.

Yes — 7 < 12 → circle right.

But wait — perhaps I made a mistake in counting the left group? Let me try grouping them:

Left crayons (from left to right):

1. yellow
2. purple
3. violet
4. blue
5. orange
6. red
7. green
8. pink
9. yellow
10. purple
11. violet
12. blue

Yes — 12.

Right:
1. red
2. green
3. pink
4. yellow
5. purple
6. violet
7. blue

7.

So yes — right group has less.

---

Final decision: In all four rows, the group on the RIGHT has fewer items.

Therefore, you should circle the RIGHT group in each row.

Final Answer:
Circle the right group in each row.
