To find the correct definition for "minute hand," let's look at the other cards to understand the pattern.
1.
Analog clock: The definition explains what the whole object is ("a device marked 1–12...").
2.
Hour hand: The definition explains what that specific part does ("a pointer on a clock that shows the hour").
Now, look at the card for
minute hand.
* The picture shows a clock with an arrow pointing to the longer hand.
* Just like the "hour hand" card tells us which time unit it shows, the "minute hand" card needs to tell us which time unit *it* shows.
* The name itself gives us the answer: it is the
minute hand.
Therefore, the definition should follow the same style as the "hour hand" card but change the word "hour" to "minutes."
Definition: a pointer on a clock that shows the minutes
