Let’s go through each question one by one, using the passage to find the answers.

---

Question 1: How we move the things?

Look at the first sentence of the passage:
> “We move things by pushing them or by pulling them.”

So, the answer is: by pushing or pulling them.

---

Question 2: When we push things, we move them away from us.

The passage says:
> “When we push things, we move them away from us.”

That matches exactly. So this statement is True.

Answer: a. True

---

Question 3: What make it easier to push heavy things?

Find the part in the passage that talks about making pushing easier:
> “Wheels make it easier to push heavy thing.” (Note: It should say “things” but we’ll use what’s written.)

Also later:
> “Engines help to push big and heavy things.”

But the question asks what makes it *easier* — and wheels are mentioned right after talking about pushing heavy things. Engines also help, but let’s see which one fits best.

Actually, both are correct, but since the question says “what make it easier”, and the passage says “Wheels make it easier to push heavy thing,” we can go with wheels.

Wait — let’s check again. The passage says:

- Wheels make it easier to push heavy things.
- Engines help to push big and heavy things.

“Help” and “make it easier” are similar, but the exact phrase “make it easier” is used for wheels.

So, safest answer: Wheels

---

Question 4: What does happen when we pull things?

Passage says:
> “When we pull things, we move them towards us.”

So, the answer is: we move them towards us.

---

Question 5: ________ helps to pull big and heavy things.

Options:
a. Computer
b. Engine
c. Television

Look at the passage:
> “Engines help to pull big and heavy things.”

Yes! Right there.

So, answer is: b. Engine

---

Now, let’s write all final answers clearly.

Final Answer:
1. By pushing or pulling them.
2. a. True
3. Wheels
4. We move them towards us.
5. b. Engine
