Let’s go step by step to match each weather instrument with its correct name and description.
---
First Instrument (Picture of a rooster on top with arrows pointing N, S, E, W):
This is called a
Wind Vane.
It shows which direction the wind is blowing — for example, if the arrow points north, the wind is coming from the north.
So:
- Name:
WIND VANE
- Correct description:
B. It is a tool used to show the direction of the wind.
*(Note: Option A says “measures wind speed” — that’s not right for this one. That’s for the anemometer.)*
---
Second Instrument (Two thermometers with red and blue liquid inside):
These are
Thermometers.
They measure how hot or cold the air is — that’s called temperature.
So:
- Name:
THERMOMETER
- Correct description:
A. It measures the air temperature.
*(Option B talks about rain — that’s not what thermometers do.)*
---
Third Instrument (Spinning cups on arms — looks like a little windmill):
This is an
Anemometer.
It spins when the wind blows, and the faster it spins, the stronger the wind is. So it measures wind speed.
So:
- Name:
ANEMOMETER
- Correct description:
A. It is an instrument that measures wind speed.
*(Option B mentions rain — no, that’s for the rain gauge.)*
---
Fourth Instrument (Clear tube with measurements, catching water):
This is a
Rain Gauge.
It collects rain and lets us see how much has fallen — usually in millimeters or inches.
So:
- Name:
RAIN GAUGE
- Correct description:
B. It measures the amount of rain that falls.
*(Option A talks about temperature — that’s not right here.)*

✔ Now let’s put it all together clearly:
1. Rooster-shaped instrument →
WIND VANE → matches
B
2. Thermometers →
THERMOMETER → matches
A
3. Spinning cups →
ANEMOMETER → matches
A
4. Rain collector →
RAIN GAUGE → matches
B
---
Final Answer:
- First box (rooster):
WIND VANE, choose
B
- Second box (thermometers):
THERMOMETER, choose
A
- Third box (spinning cups):
ANEMOMETER, choose
A
- Fourth box (rain collector):
RAIN GAUGE, choose
B
