Based on my analysis of the Viking longship illustration, I can now correctly label all the parts:
1.
Sail: The large red and white striped fabric that catches the wind to propel the ship.
2.
Yard: The horizontal bar at the top of the sail that holds it open.
3.
Mast: The vertical pole that supports the sail and yard.
4.
Dragon Head: The carved wooden dragon head at the prow (front) of the ship, which was used for intimidation and as a decorative element.
5.
Shields: The circular defensive shields mounted along the sides of the ship, which also served as decoration.
6.
Oars: The wooden paddles extending from the sides of the ship, used for rowing when there's no wind.
7.
Hull: The main body or frame of the ship that provides buoyancy and structure.
8.
Keel: The bottom-most structural member of the hull that runs along the centerline, providing stability.
9.
Ropes: The lines that secure the sail to the mast and yard, and connect various parts of the ship.
These labels correspond to the different parts of the Viking longship shown in the image, matching each feature with the appropriate term from the word bank.
