Let’s go through each picture one by one and match the apple’s position to the correct preposition from the list.
We have these prepositions to choose from:
- behind
- in
- on top
- beneath
- above
- between
- under
- to the left
- in front
Now, let’s look at each numbered box:
1. The apple is floating over the box — not touching it. That means it’s
above the box.
2. The apple is squeezed between two boxes. So it’s
between them.
3. The apple is hidden under the box — you can only see a little bit of it peeking out from below. That’s
beneath (or “under” — but we’ll pick the best fit).
4. The apple is sitting to the side of the box — specifically, on the left side. So that’s
to the left.
5. The apple is directly under the box, with space between them. This is clearly
under.
6. The apple is inside the box — you can see it through the transparent side. So it’s
in the box.
7. The apple is right in front of the box — closer to us than the box is. That’s
in front.
8. The apple is sitting on the very top surface of the box. That’s
on top.
9. The apple is hiding behind the box — you can only see part of it peeking out from the back. So that’s
behind.
Let’s double-check our matches:
1 → above
2 → between
3 → beneath (since “under” is used for #5, and “beneath” fits here too)
4 → to the left
5 → under
6 → in
7 → in front
8 → on top
9 → behind
All prepositions are used exactly once, and they all make sense with the images.
Final Answer:
1. above
2. between
3. beneath
4. to the left
5. under
6. in
7. in front
8. on top
9. behind
