The two columns exactly as your book prints them on page 70. The right-hand column is jumbled, so you have to join each word on the left to the right partner.
Answer

blue → sky

The full pair is blue sky. The word blue tells us the colour of the sky.

Why sky and not leaves: Leaves are green, not blue. Of all five naming words on the right, only the sky is blue. So the pair must be blue sky.
Tip: A word that tells you more about a naming word is called an adjective. In “blue sky”, blue is the adjective and sky is the naming word. Your book gives this same example on page 70.

Your own sentence: We flew our kite in the clear blue sky.

Answer

hardworking → children

The full pair is hardworking children. The word hardworking tells us what kind of children they are.

Why children: Only living beings can work hard. A road, a sky or a leaf cannot work at all. Out of the five words on the right, only children are alive, so only they can be hardworking.
Link to the poem: Geeta is hardworking. She “practices on her skates” every single day.

Your own sentence: Our hardworking children cleaned the whole school garden.

Answer

green → leaves

The full pair is green leaves. The word green tells us the colour of the leaves.

Why leaves and not vegetables: Some vegetables are green, so that pair almost fits. But the word healthy is still waiting, and healthy vegetables is the better pair for it. Leaves are green far more surely than vegetables are — brinjals are purple and carrots are orange. So green goes with leaves.
Tip for matching questions: Do the easy pairs first. Cross them off. Then look at what is left. The last one or two pairs almost choose themselves.

Your own sentence: The green leaves of the mango tree shone after the rain.

The two columns exactly as your book prints them on page 70. The right-hand column is jumbled, so you have to join each word on the left to the right partner.
Answer

pebbled → road

The full pair is pebbled road. A pebble is a small, smooth stone. A pebbled road is a road covered with such stones.

Why road: Pebbles lie on the ground. Only a road out of these five words is on the ground, so only a road can be pebbled.
Link to the poem: Anant plays “even when the ground is rocky”. A rocky ground and a pebbled road are alike — both are full of stones and hard to run on.

Your own sentence: We walked carefully on the pebbled road near the river.

Answer

healthy → vegetables

The full pair is healthy vegetables. Healthy food is food that keeps your body strong and well.

Why vegetables: Of the words left, only vegetables are eaten. Food is the only thing here that can make you healthy. A sky or a road cannot.
Link to the chapter: Let us Do on page 71 says, “Healthy and tasty food is liked by everyone.” Healthy vegetables give a fit body, just as playing does.

Your own sentence: Amma cooks healthy vegetables for our lunch every day.

Tip: All five words on the left are adjectives — describing words. All five on the right are naming words. Every pair is “describing word + naming word”, exactly as your book explains on page 70.
