The task involves describing the translations of shapes using words. Translation in geometry means moving a shape to a new position without rotating or flipping it. The original shape is labeled as "A," and we need to describe how each translated shape has moved relative to the original.

Solution:



#### Section A: Describe the translations using words. Shape A is the original object.

1. Image 1:
- Original shape (gray) is on the left.
- Translated shape (orange) is to the right.
- Translation: Move the shape 3 units to the right.

2. Image 2:
- Original shape (gray) is at the top.
- Translated shape (orange) is below.
- Translation: Move the shape 3 units down.

3. Image 3:
- Original shape (gray) is at the top right.
- Translated shape (orange) is below and to the left.
- Translation: Move the shape 3 units down and 3 units to the left.

4. Image 4:
- Original shape (gray) is on the left.
- Translated shape (blue) is to the right.
- Translation: Move the shape 5 units to the right.

5. Image 5:
- Original shape (blue) is on the left.
- Translated shape (gray) is to the right.
- Translation: Move the shape 4 units to the right.

6. Image 6:
- Original shape (gray) is on the left.
- Translated shape (blue) is to the right.
- Translation: Move the shape 4 units to the right.

7. Image 7:
- Original shape (green) is at the top.
- Translated shape (gray) is below.
- Translation: Move the shape 4 units down.

8. Image 8:
- Original shape (gray) is at the top.
- Translated shape (green) is below.
- Translation: Move the shape 2 units down.

9. Image 9:
- Original shape (gray) is at the top left.
- Translated shape (green) is below and to the right.
- Translation: Move the shape 3 units down and 4 units to the right.

Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1. & \text{Move 3 units to the right.} \\
2. & \text{Move 3 units down.} \\
3. & \text{Move 3 units down and 3 units to the left.} \\
4. & \text{Move 5 units to the right.} \\
5. & \text{Move 4 units to the right.} \\
6. & \text{Move 4 units to the right.} \\
7. & \text{Move 4 units down.} \\
8. & \text{Move 2 units down.} \\
9. & \text{Move 3 units down and 4 units to the right.} \\
\end{array}
}
\]
