Let’s solve each problem step by step.
We are given words with missing letters, and we need to fill in the blank so that the word matches the number shown on the animal’s sign. The numbers are written as words — for example, “three” for 3, “four” for 4, etc.
---
Problem 1:
Animal shows
3, word is: `thr_e`
What word means “3”? →
three
So, `thr_e` becomes
three → missing letter is
e
Wait — let’s check:
t h r _ e → if we put ‘e’ in the blank: t h r e e → that’s “three”
✔
But wait — actually, looking again:
The word is written as `thr_e` — that’s 5 letters: positions 1=t, 2=h, 3=r, 4=?, 5=e
“Three” is spelled: T-H-R-E-E → so position 4 should be
e, and position 5 is also
e
Yes — so missing letter is
e
✔ Answer for #1:
e

Problem 2:
Animal shows
4, word is: `_our`
What word means “4”? →
four
So, `_our` → first letter missing → must be
f
Check: f + our = four
✔
✔ Answer for #2:
f

Problem 3:
Animal shows
5, word is: `fi_e`
What word means “5”? →
five
So, `fi_e` → positions: 1=f, 2=i, 3=?, 4=e
“Five” is F-I-V-E → so position 3 is
v
Check: f i v e → yes!
✔ Answer for #3:
v
---
Problem 4:
Animal shows
1, word is: `on_`
What word means “1”? →
one
So, `on_` → positions: 1=o, 2=n, 3=?
“One” is O-N-E → so last letter is
e
Check: o n e → yes!
✔ Answer for #4:
e
---
Problem 5:
Animal shows
2, word is: `t_o`
What word means “2”? →
two
So, `t_o` → positions: 1=t, 2=?, 3=o
“Two” is T-W-O → so middle letter is
w
Check: t w o → yes!
✔ Answer for #5:
w

1) e
2) f
3) v
4) e
5) w
