Let’s go through each sentence one by one and match it with the correct preposition based on where the animal is in relation to the box.
---
1. The cat is __________ the box.
Looking at the picture: the cat is under the box (you can see its paws and food bowl peeking out from underneath).
→ So, the answer is
under.
2. The bird is __________ the boxes.
The bird is standing between two boxes — one on the left, one on the right.
→ So, the answer is
between.
3. The cat is __________ the box.
The cat is sitting inside the box, looking out.
→ So, the answer is
in.
4. The bird is __________ the box.
The bird is standing on top of the closed box.
→ So, the answer is
on.
5. The cat is __________ the box.
The cat is sitting in front of the open box, facing forward.
