Explanation:
We are given a list of six nouns:
- cake
- sun
- hair
- car
- elephant
- doctor
We need to fill in each blank with the correct noun based on the sentence clues.
Let’s go one by one:
1. “An ________ has a trunk.”
→ Only an
elephant has a trunk. Also, “an” is used before words that start with a vowel sound — “elephant” starts with /e/, so “an elephant” is correct.
✔
→ Answer:
elephant
2. “That red ________ is new.”
→ What can be red and new? A
car is often described as red (color), and cars can be new. “Cake” could be red, but it’s less likely to be called “new” in this context (we say “fresh” or “just baked”). “Sun” isn’t red normally (except at sunrise/sunset, but not usually called “new”). So best fit:
car.
✔
→ Answer:
car
3. “Sara has long ________.”
→ People have long
hair. This is the only logical choice.
✔
→ Answer:
hair
4. “Mother bakes a ________.”
→ You bake a
cake. You don’t bake a sun, hair, car, elephant, or doctor!
✔
→ Answer:
cake
5. “The ________ is shining.”
→ The
sun shines. That’s the only thing in the list that shines naturally.
✔
→ Answer:
sun
6. “That man is a ________.”
→ A person can be a
doctor (a job/role). The other options are not roles people *are* (you’re not a car, cake, etc.).
✔
→ Answer:
doctor
Now double-check all answers match the word bank and sentences make sense:
1. An
elephant has a trunk. ✔️
2. That red
car is new. ✔️
3. Sara has long
hair. ✔️
4. Mother bakes a
cake. ✔️
5. The
sun is shining. ✔️
6. That man is a
doctor. ✔️
All six words are used exactly once — perfect!
Final Answer:
1. elephant
2. car
3. hair
4. cake
5. sun
6. doctor
