Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are asked to tick (✓) the objects that will roll and those that will slide.

Part 1: Tick the objects that will roll

Rolling means the object can move by turning around its center — like a ball or a wheel. Objects with curved surfaces (like spheres or cylinders) usually roll.

Look at each object:

1. Pencil – It’s long and round in shape (cylindrical). If you put it on a slope, it can roll sideways. ✔ So, it rolls.
2. Soccer ball – Perfectly round. Definitely rolls. ✔
3. Butter box – It’s a rectangular block. Flat sides. It won’t roll — it will slide if pushed. ✘
4. Onion – Roughly round but not smooth or symmetrical. In real life, it might wobble or tumble, but for Class 1 level, we consider only clearly round/cylindrical shapes as “rolling”. Onion is irregular → doesn’t reliably roll. ✘

So, for “roll”, we tick:
- Pencil ✓
- Soccer ball ✓

*(Note: The image already shows green ticks under pencil and soccer ball — which matches our reasoning.)*

Part 2: Tick the objects that will slide

Sliding means the object moves without rotating — it glides along a surface. Usually flat-bottomed or non-round objects slide.

Look at each object:

1. Cucumber – Long and slightly curved. Might roll a little, but mostly it’s not designed to roll easily. However, in many textbooks, cucumbers are considered to *not* slide well because they’re rounded. But let’s think: if placed on a slide, would it stay still or move? Actually, due to its shape, it may roll slightly — so probably NOT best for sliding. ✘
2. Tomato – Round! Will roll, not slide. ✘
3. Suitcase – Has flat bottom and handles. Designed to be dragged or slid. On a slide, it would definitely slide down without rolling. ✔
4. Battery – Cylindrical shape. Like a pencil, it can roll if placed on its side. But if placed upright, it might not move much. However, in most cases, batteries are treated as capable of rolling (since they’re cylinders). But wait — the question says “tick the objects that will slide”. Battery is more likely to roll than slide. ✘

BUT — looking at the image again: there’s a green tick under the suitcase only. That suggests the expected answer is just the suitcase.

Why?

Because:
- Cucumber: too rounded → may roll
- Tomato: definitely rolls
- Battery: cylindrical → rolls
- Suitcase: flat base → slides perfectly

So only the suitcase should be ticked for “slide”.

*(Image also shows only suitcase ticked — correct.)*

Final Check:

✔ Roll: Pencil, Soccer Ball
✔ Slide: Suitcase

All matches what’s shown in the image — meaning the student has already answered correctly!

But since the user wants us to solve it, we confirm:

Final Answer:
For "roll": Pencil ✓, Soccer ball ✓
For "slide": Suitcase ✓
