To solve this problem, we need to sort the pictures at the bottom into two groups:
Living and
Nonliving.
Step-by-Step Sorting:
1.
Balloon: A balloon is an object made of rubber or plastic. It does not eat, grow, or breathe on its own. →
Nonliving
2.
Bug (Beetle): A bug is an insect. It moves, eats, and grows. →
