To solve this matching problem, we need to pair each U.S. state on the left with its correct capital city on the right. Let’s go one by one and match them based on known facts:
1.
Oregon → Capital is
Salem
2.
Pennsylvania → Capital is
Harrisburg
3.
Rhode Island → Capital is
Providence
4.
South Carolina → Capital is
Columbia
5.
South Dakota → Capital is
Pierre
6.
Tennessee → Capital is
Nashville
7.
Texas → Already matched to
Austin (as shown in the image)
8.
Utah → Capital is
Salt Lake City
9.
Vermont → Capital is
Montpelier
10.
Virginia → Capital is
Richmond
11.
Washington → Capital is
Olympia
12.
West Virginia → Capital is
Charleston
13.
Wisconsin → Capital is
Madison
14.
Wyoming → Capital is
Cheyenne
Now let’s list all the matches clearly:
- Oregon — Salem
- Pennsylvania — Harrisburg
- Rhode Island — Providence
- South Carolina — Columbia
- South Dakota — Pierre
- Tennessee — Nashville
- Texas — Austin *(already drawn)*
- Utah — Salt Lake City

All capitals are now correctly paired.
