Let’s go through each word one by one. We’re looking for words that have the “OW” or “OU” sound — like in “cow” or “house”.
We’ll look at the picture and the letters given, then figure out which missing letters make a real word with that sound.

cr__n → Picture is a raccoon (sometimes called “coon”, but here it’s “crown”? Wait — no! The picture shows a raccoon wearing a crown? Actually, looking again — it’s a raccoon, but the word is likely “crown” because of the crown on its head? Hmm… wait — actually, the animal is a raccoon, but the word we need is probably “crown” since there’s a crown above it? Or maybe it’s “raccoon”? But “raccoon” doesn’t fit “cr__n”. Let’s think: “crown” fits “cr__n” → c-r-o-w-n → yes! And the picture shows a crown over the raccoon’s head — so it’s hinting at “crown”.
