Let’s solve this step by step.
First, look at the “Word Building” section. We are adding letters to “ock” to make real words that rhyme with “lock,” “rock,” etc. — these are called “-ock family” words.
1. r + ock = rock
→ That’s a common word. You can hold a rock in your hand.
2. s + ock = sock
→ You wear socks on your feet. Makes sense!
3. cl + ock = clock
→ A clock tells time. The picture next to it shows a clock too.
4. d + ock = dock
→ A dock is where boats stop. The picture shows a boat near a dock.
Now, let’s do the “Sentence Fill-ins.” We need to pick the right -ock word from the bottom (l, kn, fl, sm) and put it in the blank to complete each sentence.
The words we can make are:
- l + ock = lock
- kn + ock = knock
- fl + ock = flock
- sm + ock = smock? Wait — that doesn’t fit any sentence. Let’s check again.
Actually, looking at the sentences:
1. “Put on a ___ before you paint.”
→ What do you wear when painting? A
smock! So: sm + ock = smock
2. “A ___ of geese flew South.”
→ A group of birds is called a
flock. So: fl + ock = flock
3. “Did you hear a ___ at the door?”
→ Someone knocks at the door. So: kn + ock = knock
4. “We need to ___ the gate.”
→ You lock a gate to keep it closed. So: l + ock = lock
Wait — but in the Word Building section, we had “d + ock = dock”, which isn’t used in the sentences. And “smock” wasn’t in the Word Building part — that’s okay! The Sentence Fill-ins use different combinations from the letters given at the bottom: l, kn, fl, sm.
So for the fill-ins, we’re making:
- smock
- flock
- knock
- lock
Let’s match them to the sentences:
✔ Put on a
smock before you paint.
✔ A
flock of geese flew South.
✔ Did you hear a
knock at the door?
✔ We need to
lock the gate.
All done!
Final Answer:
Word Building:
1. rock
2. sock
3. clock
4. dock
Sentence Fill-ins:
Put on a smock before you paint.
A flock of geese flew South.
Did you hear a knock at the door?
We need to lock the gate.
