Let's solve the problem step by step using the timeline provided in the image.

Timeline Summary:
We have a timeline showing Ben’s development from age 1 to age 6. Each age is associated with a specific activity:
-
Age 1: Ben walks.
-
Age 2: Ben draws.
-
Age 3: Ben rides (a bike or scooter).
-
Age 4: Ben plays ball.
-
Age 5: Ben writes.
-
Age 6: Ben reads.
Now, let's answer each question based on this information.
---
Question 1: What can Ben do at age 4?

- At
Age 4, Ben
plays ball.
✔ Answer: Ben can play ball at age 4.
---
Question 2: What can Ben do at age 5?

- At
Age 5, Ben
writes.

---
Question 4: Does Ben ride a bike before or after he can play ball? How do you know?
From the timeline:
- Ben
rides at
Age 3.
- Ben
plays ball at
Age 4.
So, Ben rides a bike
before he plays ball.
We know this because
Age 3 comes before Age 4 on the timeline.
✔ Answer:
Ben rides a bike
before he can play ball.
I know because he rides at age 3 and plays ball at age 4, and 3 is earlier than 4.
---
