Let’s solve this step by step.
We’re filling in blanks in the lyrics of “Do Re Mi” from *The Sound of Music*. The words to choose from are given in boxes on the right side of each section.
---
First Section:
Lyrics with blanks:
> Let's ______ at the very beginning
> A very ______ place to start
> When you ______ you ______ with ABC
> When you ______ you begin with
> Do, Re, Mi, Do, Re, Mi
> The first three ______ just happen to be
> Do, Re, Mi, Do, Re, Mi
> Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Te
Word bank (top):
begin, read, start, notes, good, sing
Let’s match them logically:
1. “Let’s
start at the very beginning” → makes sense. (“Start” is in the word bank)
2. “A very
good place to start” → classic line! (“Good” is there)
3. “When you
read you
begin with ABC” → because reading starts with letters ABC. (“Read” and “begin” are both available)
4. “When you
sing you begin with Do, Re, Mi…” → singing uses musical notes. (“Sing” is there)
5. “The first three
notes just happen to be...” → yes, Do, Re, Mi are musical notes. (“Notes” is in the list)
So top section filled:
- start
- good
- read, begin
- sing
- notes

Second Section:
Lyrics:
> Oh let's see if I can make it easier:
> Do- A ______ , a female deer
> Re- A drop of ______ sun
> Mi- A ______ I call myself
> Fa- A long, long way to ______
> So- A ______ pulling thread
> La- A note to follow so
> Te- A drink with jam and ______
> That will bring us back to Do, oh, oh, oh
Word bank (bottom):
run, golden, deer, bread, name, needle
Now match:
1. “Do - A
deer, a female deer” → obvious! (“Deer” is in the list)
2. “Re - A drop of
golden sun” → poetic, and “golden” fits. (“Golden” is there)
3. “Mi - A
name I call myself” → like “me” sounds like “mi”. (“Name” is available)
4. “Fa - A long, long way to
run” → “far” sounds like “fa”, and “run” goes with distance. (“Run” is there)
5. “So - A
needle pulling thread” → “sew” sounds like “so”, and needles pull thread. (“Needle” is in the list)
6. “Te - A drink with jam and
bread” → “tea” sounds like “te”, and tea goes with jam and bread. (“Bread” is there)
Perfect matches!
