Let’s go step by step to label the text features correctly.
We are given a word bank:
caption, diagram, heading, index, subheading
And we need to match each red arrow in the worksheet to the correct term from the word bank. One word will not be used.
---
Look at the first red arrow — it points to the big title at the top:
→
“Starfish Text Features”
This is the main title of the whole page. That’s called a
heading.
Second red arrow — points to the section titled:
→
“How Starfish Move”
This is a smaller title under the main heading. It introduces a new section. That’s a
subheading.
Third red arrow — points to the drawing of the starfish with labels like “Arms” and “Feet”.
That’s a picture that explains something — that’s a
diagram.
Fourth red arrow — points to the small sentence under the diagram:
→ *“The starfish uses its short, tube-like feet to move slowly on the ocean floor.”*
This explains what the diagram shows. That’s a
caption.
Now, what’s left? The word
index is still in the word bank. But there’s no list of topics or page numbers anywhere — so
index is the one not used.
✔ So the matches are:
- Top title →
heading
- “How Starfish Move” →
subheading
- Drawing of starfish →
diagram
- Sentence under drawing →
caption
Final Answer:
heading, subheading, diagram, caption
