Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a word bank with these words:
Match, Ant, Tarantula, Snowshoes, Skis
Tennis, Stem, Cricket, Badminton, Petal
Black widow, Flashlight, Root, Lamp, Racquetball
Sled, Bee, Wolf spider
Our job is to:
1. Pick 3 things that go together (a subtopic).
2. Write them as A., B., C. under a main topic (I.).
3. Use Roman numerals, capital letters, and periods — like in the example.
The example already did one group:
I. Sources of Light
A. Flashlight
B. Lamp
C. Match
That makes sense — all three give light.
Now let’s find other groups from the remaining words.
Look at sports or games:
- Tennis
- Badminton
- Racquetball
→ These are all racket sports! That’s a good group.
Another group: spiders!
- Tarantula
- Black widow
- Wolf spider
→ All types of spiders. Perfect.
Another group: winter snow gear?
- Snowshoes
- Skis
- Sled
→ All used in snow. Good group.
Another group: parts of a plant?
- Stem
- Root
- Petal
→ Yes! All parts of a flower/plant.
Another group: insects?
- Ant
- Cricket
- Bee
→ All bugs/insects. Also works.
So we have several possible correct answers. Let’s pick 4 more groups to fill the 4 blank boxes (since one is already filled).
We’ll choose:
Group 2: Racket Sports
I. Racket Sports
A. Tennis
B. Badminton
C. Racquetball
Group 3: Types of Spiders
I. Types of Spiders
A. Tarantula
B. Black widow
C. Wolf spider
Group 4: Parts of a Plant
I. Parts of a Plant
A. Stem
B. Root
C. Petal
Group 5: Insects
I. Insects
A. Ant
B. Cricket
C. Bee
(We could also use “Snow Equipment” for Snowshoes, Skis, Sled — but we only need 4 more since one box is done.)
Let’s write them neatly using the required format.
Final Answer:
I. Racket Sports
A. Tennis
B. Badminton
C. Racquetball
I. Types of Spiders
A. Tarantula
B. Black widow
C. Wolf spider
I. Parts of a Plant
A. Stem
B. Root
C. Petal
I. Insects
A. Ant
B. Cricket
C. Bee
