Let’s solve this step by step.

Part 1: Sequencing “My First Plant”

We need to put the pictures in the correct order of how a plant grows from start to finish.

Look at each picture:

- Picture 1 (leftmost): Watering a small sprout in a pot → This happens after planting seeds and when the plant is starting to grow.
- Picture 2: Dropping seeds into soil → This is the very first step — planting the seeds.
- Picture 3: A full-grown flower in a pot → This is the final stage — the plant has bloomed.
- Picture 4: A small green sprout with sun above it → This is after the seed starts growing, but before it becomes a big plant.
- Picture 5: Shovel putting soil into a pot → This is preparing the pot — even before planting seeds!

So let’s think about the real-life order:

1. First, you prepare the pot with soil → Picture 5
2. Then you drop the seeds in → Picture 2
3. Then you water it so the seed can grow → Picture 1
4. Then a little sprout comes out and grows under the sun → Picture 4
5. Finally, it becomes a big flowering plant → Picture 3

So the numbers under the pictures (from left to right) should be:

→ Picture 1 (watering): 3
→ Picture 2 (seeds): 2
→ Picture 3 (flower): 5
→ Picture 4 (sprout + sun): 4
→ Picture 5 (shovel/soil): 1

Wait — let me double-check that.

Actually, looking again:

The images are shown in this order from left to right:

Image A: watering a tiny sprout
Image B: dropping seeds into empty pot
Image C: full flower
Image D: small sprout with sun
Image E: shovel adding soil to pot

Correct sequence of events:

Step 1: Add soil to pot → Image E
Step 2: Drop seeds in → Image B
Step 3: Water the seeds/sprout → Image A
Step 4: Sprout grows with sunlight → Image D
Step 5: Flower blooms → Image C

So numbering them 1 to 5 in order:

Under Image A (watering): 3
Under Image B (seeds): 2
Under Image C (flower): 5
Under Image D (sprout + sun): 4
Under Image E (shovel): 1

✔ That makes sense.

Part 2: Sequencing Betty’s Story

We have 5 sentences. We need to number them 1 to 5 in the order they happened.

Let’s read each one:

A. *She thought of getting her a nice necklace, but she did not have enough money to buy one.*
B. *One day, Betty decided that she wanted to surprise her mom on her birthday.*
C. *Then she thought she could take her out to lunch, but that would not really be a surprise.*
D. *Finally, Betty’s cake was ready, and it was delicious... “Thank you for the best birthday present ever!”*
E. *So, Betty decided to bake a special chocolate cake for her mom...*

Now, let’s find the logical order:

- It all starts with Betty deciding to surprise her mom → Sentence B = 1
- Then she thinks of ideas: first, a necklace → Sentence A = 2
- But she can’t afford it, so next idea: lunch → Sentence C = 3
- But lunch isn’t a surprise, so she decides to bake a cake → Sentence E = 4
- Finally, the cake is done and mom loves it → Sentence D = 5

So the order is:

B → 1
A → 2
C → 3
E → 4
D → 5

Let’s write that in the table as requested.
