The task is to match each picture and word on the left with its opposite word on the right. Here's how to solve it step by step:
Step 1: Understand the concept of opposites
Opposites are words that have contrasting meanings. For example:
- Heavy vs. Light
- Big vs. Small
- Empty vs. Full
Step 2: Match each word and picture with its opposite
Let’s go through each pair systematically:
#### Left Column:
1.
heavy (picture of a heavy object)
- Opposite:
light (picture of a feather)
2.
big (picture of an elephant)
- Opposite:
small (picture of a mouse)
3.
empty (picture of an empty cup)
- Opposite:
full (picture of a full bowl)
4.
hot (picture of a hot drink)
- Opposite:
cold (picture of a cold drink)
5.
happy (picture of a smiling face)
- Opposite:
sad (picture of a sad face)
6.
day (picture of the sun)
- Opposite:
night (picture of the moon)
7.
wet (picture of a wet dog)
- Opposite:
dry (picture of a dry dog)
Step 3: Draw lines to connect the matches
Now, draw a line from each word/picture on the left to its corresponding opposite word on the right.
Final Answer:
Here are the matches:
-
heavy →
light
-
big →
small
-
empty →
full
-
hot →
cold
-
happy →
sad
-
day →
night
-
wet →
dry
Explanation:
Each pairing makes logical sense based on the meaning of the words and the images provided. For example, a heavy object is the opposite of a light object, and a big elephant is the opposite of a small mouse.
Final Boxed Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
&\text{heavy} \rightarrow \text{light} \\
&\text{big} \rightarrow \text{small} \\
&\text{empty} \rightarrow \text{full} \\
