Let's solve this
"Problem and Solution" matching exercise step by step.
We are given a list of
problems on the left and a list of
solutions on the right. We need to draw a line to match each problem with its most logical solution.

Step-by-step Matching:
1.
I lost my pencil
→ The best solution is:
B. I borrowed one from my friend.
(If you lose a pencil, borrowing one makes sense.)
2.
It was cold outside.
→ The best solution is:
A. I put on a jacket.
(To stay warm when it’s cold.)
3.
I forgot my homework at home.
→ The best solution is:
D. I brought it the next day.
(You can’t bring it the same day if you forgot it, so bringing it the next day is the fix.)
4.
I had a high fever.
→ The best solution is:
I. I went to the doctor.
(High fever requires medical attention.)
5.
My zipper broke on my coat.
→ The best solution is:
E. My mom bought me a new coat.
(A broken zipper might be fixed, but buying a new coat is a direct solution.)
6.
I missed the bus.
→ The best solution is:
J. My neighbours gave me a ride.
(If you miss the bus, someone giving you a ride solves the problem.)
7.
I forgot my lunch.
→ The best solution is:
G. I bought lunch at school.
(If you forget your lunch, buying one at school is a common solution.)
8.
I fell on the playground and cut my knee.
→ The best solution is:
H. The school nurse gave me a band-aid.
(A minor injury like a cut knee would be treated with a band-aid.)
9.
I spilled water on my desk.
→ The best solution is:
F. I wiped it with tissue.
(Cleaning up spilled water with a tissue is logical.)
10.
I didn’t study my spelling words.
→ The best solution is:
C. I practiced my words the next day.
(Since you didn’t study, practicing the next day helps prepare for the future.)
