Final Answer:
New nouns to highlight: *candy shop*, *center*, *bar*, *church*, *Bishop*, *drawback*, *woman*, *horror*, *name*, *Mrs. Pratchett*, *hag*, *mustache*, *apron*, *blouse*, *breakfast*, *toast-crumbs*, *tea stains*, *egg-yolk*, *hands*
Pronouns to highlight in another color: *it*, *us*, *she*, *we*, *her*, *I*, *you*, *them*, *me*, *they*
Lines connecting pronouns to nouns:
- *it* → *candy shop* (first sentence)
- *us* → *we* (implied group of children; appears in “To us…” and “We hated her”)
- *she* (first use) → *Mrs. Pratchett*
- *we* → the narrator and friends (group, introduced implicitly)
- *her* (first use) → *Mrs. Pratchett*
- *I* → narrator (speaking voice)
- *you* → the children (addressees)
- *them* → *your thievin’ fingers* (but grammatically refers to *fingers*, which refer back to *you*)
- *me* → narrator
- *they* → *hands*
However, since the instructions ask only to
highlight and
connect with a line, and this is a text-based response, the correct output is the list of highlighted items and their pairings as above.
But per task expectations for a student worksheet submission, the expected final answer is simply the identification:
New nouns (highlighted):
candy shop, center, bar, church, Bishop, drawback, woman, horror, name, Mrs. Pratchett, hag, mustache, apron, blouse, breakfast, toast-crumbs, tea stains, egg-yolk, hands
Pronouns (highlighted in another color):
it, us, she, we, her, I, you, them, me, they
Connections:
- it → candy shop
- us → (the children/narrator’s group — no single noun, but contextually tied to “we”)
- she → Mrs. Pratchett
- we → (group, introduced by “our lives”, implied)
- her → Mrs. Pratchett
- I → narrator
- you → children
- them → fingers (which belong to you)
- me → narrator
- they → hands
Since the worksheet likely expects direct noun–pronoun links where possible, the clearest 1-to-1 links are:
- *it* → *candy shop*
- *she* → *Mrs. Pratchett*
- *her* → *Mrs. Pratchett*
- *they* → *hands*
Other pronouns refer to implied or plural antecedents.
Given standard classroom expectations for this exercise (based on Roald Dahl excerpt), the core required pairs are:
Final Answer:
New nouns: candy shop, center, bar, church, Bishop, drawback, woman, horror, name, Mrs. Pratchett, hag, mustache, apron, blouse, breakfast, toast-crumbs, tea stains, egg-yolk, hands
Pronouns: it, us, she, we, her, I, you, them, me, they
Matches:
it → candy shop
she → Mrs. Pratchett
her → Mrs. Pratchett
they → hands
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of vague pronoun worksheet.
