To solve this problem, we need to categorize each sentence based on the sound it makes at the end of certain words. The categories provided are:
-
AR: Words ending with the "ar" sound (e.g., car, far).
-
ER: Words ending with the "er" sound (e.g., her, ferret).
-
IR: Words ending with the "ir" sound (e.g., bird, stir).
-
OR: Words ending with the "or" sound (e.g., door, for).
-
UR: Words ending with the "ur" sound (e.g., fur, hurt).
Let's analyze each sentence and identify the appropriate category:
---
1. My grandfather finds it hard to drive his car in the dark.
- Key word:
car (ends with the "ar" sound).
- Category:
AR
---
2. The goat sported a purple scarf around her neck.
- Key word:
scarf (ends with the "er" sound).
- Category:
ER
---
3. Nina wore a bright shirt while she was home.
- Key word:
shirt (ends with the "t" sound, but no specific ending sound matches the categories).
- However, if we consider the context, there might be a typo or misinterpretation. Let’s move to the next sentence.
---
4. My mother is sewing the short skirt.
- Key word:
skirt (ends with the "t" sound, but no specific ending sound matches the categories).
- Again, let’s move to the next sentence.

farm (ends with the "ar" sound).
- Category:
AR

6. My brother was hurt while playing soccer.

Final Answer:
Based on the analysis, the categories for each sentence are:

2.

3. (No clear match; likely an error or missing context)
4. (No clear match; likely an error or missing context)
5.
