Match the fruit with its correct shadow in this educational worksheet.

Let’s go row by row and match each fruit with its correct shadow.

---

Row 1: Cherries (two red fruits on stems)
Look at the shape — two round fruits connected by thin stems. The correct shadow should show two rounded shapes with small stem lines above them.
→ The 7th shadow from the left matches best — it shows two cherries with stems pointing up.

Wait — let’s check again. Actually, looking closely, the 3rd shadow also looks like two cherries. But notice: in the original image, the cherries are hanging down slightly. The 7th shadow has the stems going upward — that’s not right. The 3rd shadow has the stems curving downward — that matches better.

Actually, let me re-examine all options carefully.

Looking at the first row of shadows for cherries:
- Shadow #1: Too wide, no clear stems
- Shadow #2: Looks like one big blob
- Shadow #3: Two rounds with short downward stems → this is good!
- Shadow #4: Same as #3? Wait, maybe identical?
Actually, looking again — many look similar. Let’s compare to the actual fruit.

The real cherries have two round fruits, each with a small stem coming out from the top, and they’re close together.

Shadow #3 and #4 both look very similar. But if you look at the angle — the real cherries are tilted slightly to the right. Shadow #3 tilts slightly right too. So #3 is correct.

But wait — actually, in most matching games like this, the shadow must be an exact silhouette. Let’s count positions.

Actually, I think I made a mistake. Let’s do this more systematically.

---

Better approach: For each fruit, find the shadow that has the *exact same outline*, including stems, leaves, and orientation.

---

Row 1: Cherries
Fruit: Two red circles, each with a green leaf and stem, hanging side by side.
Correct shadow: Should show two round shapes with small protrusions (stems) on top, and possibly little bumps for leaves.

Looking at the shadows:

- Shadow #1: No stems visible
- Shadow #2: One large mass
- Shadow #3: Two rounds, stems pointing down-left → matches!
- Shadow #4: Same as #3? Maybe duplicate?
Actually, upon closer inspection, shadow #3 is the only one where the stems are clearly visible and positioned correctly relative to the fruit.

✔ Match: Shadow #3

Row 2: Pineapple
Fruit: Oval body with spiky crown on top, and rough texture.
Shadow should show the oval shape + spikey top.

Look at shadows:

- Shadow #1: Has spikes but body is too narrow
- Shadow #2: Round body, no spikes
- Shadow #3: Good spike pattern, oval body → yes!
- Shadow #4: Similar to #3?
Actually, shadow #3 and #6 look similar. But #3 has the spikes fanning out correctly.

Wait — the pineapple in the image has a distinct curved body and a bushy top. Shadow #6 has the spikes going outward nicely.

Actually, let’s pick the one that matches the silhouette exactly.

Looking again — shadow #6 has the right curve and spike arrangement.

✔ Match: Shadow #6

---

Row 3: Pears
Two yellow pears, one slightly behind the other, with stems.

Shadow should show two pear-shaped blobs, overlapping slightly, with small stems.

Shadows:

- Shadow #1: Two separate pears, no overlap
- Shadow #2: Overlapping, stems visible → good!
- Shadow #3: Same as #2?
Actually, shadow #2 shows the front pear fully, back pear partially hidden — matches the image.

✔ Match: Shadow #2

---

Row 4: Apple with leaf
One apple, round, with a leaf sticking out from the top-right.

Shadow should be round with a small bump/leaf shape on top-right.

Shadows:

- Shadow #1: Round, no leaf
- Shadow #2: Round, flat top
- Shadow #3: Round with leaf-like bump on top-right → YES!
- Shadow #4: Same as #3?

Actually, shadow #3 has the leaf shape clearly.

✔ Match: Shadow #3

---

Row 5: Single cherry
One red cherry with stem and leaf.

Shadow should be one round shape with a thin stem and tiny leaf.

Shadows:

- Shadow #1: Round with stem → possible
- Shadow #2: Same
- Shadow #3: Stem bent differently
- Shadow #4: Bulbous, wrong shape
- Shadow #5: Tiny dot — too small
- Shadow #6: Good shape, stem curves right
- Shadow #7: Stem straight up
- Shadow #8: Leaf too big

Real cherry: stem curves gently to the right, leaf small.

Shadow #6 matches best — stem curves right, size correct.

✔ Match: Shadow #6

---

Row 6: Bananas
Three bananas clustered together, curved.

Shadow should show three curved shapes grouped.

Shadows:

- Shadow #1: Three curves, good grouping
- Shadow #2: Only two bananas
- Shadow #3: Too thick
- Shadow #4: Curves match well
- Shadow #5: Too flat
- Shadow #6: Good
- Shadow #7: Wrong curve direction
- Shadow #8: Only one banana

Compare to image: bananas curve upward, clustered.

Shadow #4 shows three bananas curving up, properly spaced.

✔ Match: Shadow #4

---

Now let’s compile our answers:

Row 1 (Cherries): Shadow #3
Row 2 (Pineapple): Shadow #6
Row 3 (Pears): Shadow #2
Row 4 (Apple): Shadow #3
Row 5 (Single Cherry): Shadow #6
Row 6 (Bananas): Shadow #4

Wait — let’s double-check Row 4 (Apple). Is shadow #3 really correct? Looking again — the apple has a leaf on the top-right. Shadow #3 has a bump on the top-right — yes. Some might argue shadow #7, but that’s more centered. #3 is better.

Also, Row 5: single cherry — shadow #6 has the stem curving right, which matches the image.

Final verification:

- Cherries (row1): #3 ✔️
- Pineapple (row2): #6 ✔️
- Pears (row3): #2 ✔️
- Apple (row4): #3 ✔️
- Single cherry (row5): #6 ✔️
- Bananas (row6): #4 ✔️

All seem consistent.

Final Answer:
Row 1: 3
Row 2: 6
Row 3: 2
Row 4: 3
Row 5: 6
Row 6: 4
