Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best word from the list:
in, next to, behind, on, above, in front of
---
1. The duck is _______ the door.
→ Look at picture 1: The duck is standing beside the door, not inside or behind it. So “next to” fits best.
2. The snake is _______ the bed.
→ Picture 2 shows the snake lying on top of the bed (on the blanket). So “on” is correct.
3. The deer is _______ of the tree.
→ In picture 3, the deer is standing under the tree, hidden partly by leaves — so it’s *behind* the tree from our view. “Behind” works here.
4. The cow is _______ the table.
→ Picture 4: The cow is standing on top of the table! So “on” again.
Wait — let’s double-check #4. Is the cow really ON the table? Yes, its feet are on the tabletop. So “on” is right.
5. The squirrel is _______ the box.
→ Picture 5: The squirrel is sitting inside the open box. So “in” is correct.
6. The cat is sitting _______ to the dog.
→ Picture 6: The cat is beside the dog, wearing a party hat. They’re side by side. So “next to” fits.
But wait — we already used “next to” in #1. That’s okay! Words can be reused unless told otherwise. The instructions don’t say each word can only be used once.
Let’s check if all words make sense:
- #1: next to
✔
- #2: on
✔
- #3: behind
✔
- #4: on
✔ (again — that’s fine)
- #5: in
✔
- #6: next to
✔ (again — also fine)
All sentences now make logical sense with these prepositions.
Final Answer:
1. next to
2. on
3. behind
4. on
5. in
6. next to
