Let’s go step by step.
We have a list of words on the left that all end with “an”:
- can
- tan
- fan
- man
- ran
- pan
- van
On the right, there are 7 pictures. We need to match each word to the correct picture by drawing an arrow.
Let’s think about what each word means and which picture it matches:
1.
can → This is a metal container, like for soup or beans. Look at the pictures — there’s one that looks like a food can (with a label). That’s the match.
2.
tan → This can mean a light brown color, but in this context, it might be tricky. Wait — actually, looking at the pictures, none clearly show “tan” as a color. But maybe we’re missing something? Let’s hold on and check others first.
Wait — let’s look again. Maybe “tan” is not meant to be matched here? No — there are 7 words and 7 pictures, so every word must match one picture.
Let’s list the pictures from top to bottom:
Top to bottom:
1. Frying pan
2. Girl holding a bag (maybe “man”? no — girl)
3. Van (vehicle)
4. Can (food can)
5. Fan (electric fan)
6. Boy running (“ran”)
7. Person wearing a hat under sun? Or maybe “tan” as in getting suntanned?
Ah! Now it makes sense.
Let’s match carefully:
-
can → Picture #4 (the food can)
-
tan → Picture #7 (person under sun — getting a tan)
-
fan → Picture #5 (electric fan)
-
man → Picture #2? But that’s a girl… wait, maybe it’s just a person? Actually, looking again — picture #2 is a child, could be interpreted as “man” in a simple way? Hmm.
Wait — let’s re-express:
Actually, let’s number the pictures clearly:
Picture 1: Frying pan → matches
pan
Picture 2: Child with bag → maybe
man? Not perfect, but perhaps intended.
Picture 3: Van → matches
van
Picture 4: Food can → matches
can
Picture 5: Electric fan → matches
fan
Picture 6: Boy running → matches
ran
Picture 7: Person under sun with hat → likely
tan (as in suntan)
Now what about
man? Only picture left is #2 — the child. Maybe in this worksheet, they use “man” to mean any person? Or perhaps it’s a mistake? But since it’s a school worksheet, we’ll assume picture #2 is meant to represent “man”.
Alternatively — maybe I misread. Let’s double-check:
Words: can, tan, fan, man, ran, pan, van → 7 words
Pictures (top to bottom):
1. Pan → pan
2. Person (child) → man?
3. Van → van
4. Can → can
5. Fan → fan
6. Running boy → ran
7. Sunbathing person → tan
Yes — that works.
So final matching:
- can → picture 4 (can)
- tan → picture 7 (sun/tan)
- fan → picture 5 (fan)
- man → picture 2 (person)
- ran → picture 6 (running)
- pan → picture 1 (frying pan)
- van → picture 3 (van)
All matched!
Final Answer:
Draw arrows as follows:
- "can" → the food can (4th picture from top)
- "tan" → the person under the sun (7th picture)
- "fan" → the electric fan (5th picture)
- "man" → the child with a bag (2nd picture)
- "ran" → the running boy (6th picture)
- "pan" → the frying pan (1st picture)
- "van" → the van (3rd picture)
