To solve this task, we need to look at each row of containers and decide which one can hold the most liquid. "Capacity" means how much space is inside a container for holding things like water or juice.
Here is the step-by-step thinking for each row:
Row 1:
-
Egg cup: Very small, holds just one egg or a tiny bit of liquid.
-
Mug: Holds a drink, like tea or coffee. It’s bigger than an egg cup.
-
Teacup: Similar to a mug but usually a bit smaller and shallower.
-
Winner: The
mug is typically the largest of these three for holding liquid.
Row 2:
-
Barrel: A large wooden or metal container, often used for storing lots of liquids (like oil or wine).
-
Baby’s bottle: Holds about 8–10 ounces of milk. Small.
-
Bucket: Holds a few liters of water, but much less than a barrel.
-
Winner: The
barrel is by far the biggest.
Row 3:
-
Saucepan: Used for cooking, holds maybe 1–2 liters.
-
Can of cola: Standard size is 330 ml or 12 oz — quite small.
-
Paddling pool: A small inflatable pool for kids. Even a small one holds many liters of water — much more than a saucepan or soda can.
-
Winner: The
paddling pool holds the most.
Row 4:
-
Juice carton: Usually 1 liter or less.
-
Tin of paint: Paint tins are often 1 gallon (~3.8 liters) or 5 liters — quite big.
-
Spray bottle: Holds maybe 500 ml to 1 liter — smaller than a paint tin.
-
Winner: The
tin of paint usually has the largest capacity.
Let me double-check:
- Mug > teacup > egg cup →
✔ mug
- Barrel >> bucket > baby bottle →
✔ barrel
- Paddling pool >> saucepan > cola can →
✔ paddling pool
- Tin of paint (often 5L) > juice carton (1L) > spray bottle (≤1L) →
✔ tin of paint
All choices make sense based on everyday experience.
Final Answer:
mug, barrel, paddling pool, tin of paint
