Q1.

B. Now, fill in the blanks with naming words that suit the first word.
happy ……………………………

Answer

happy child

Here the describing word is already given. You must add a naming word that suits it.

Other correct answers: happy family, happy birthday, happy face, happy village.

Why child fits: Only something that can feel may be called happy. A child can feel happy. A stone cannot.

Tip: Say the pair aloud before you write it. If it sounds like something people really say, it is right. “Happy child” sounds right. “Happy stone” does not.

Your own sentence: The happy child ran to show her new book to everyone.

Q2.

B. Now, fill in the blanks with naming words that suit the first word.
red ……………………………

Answer

red rose

Red is a colour word, so it needs a naming word that really is red.

Other correct answers: red tomato, red apple, red flag, red ball, red ribbon.

Why a colour word is easy: A colour can only go with something you can see. Picture the thing in your mind first. If it looks red in your picture, the pair is correct.

Tip: Do not write “red sky” or “red leaves” here. They are possible, but a rose, a tomato or an apple is red all the time, so the pair is stronger.

Your own sentence: I gave a red rose to my teacher on Teachers’ Day.

Q3.

B. Now, fill in the blanks with naming words that suit the first word.
fierce ……………………………

Answer

fierce lion

Fierce means very angry and frightening. So it needs a naming word that can frighten you.

Other correct answers: fierce tiger, fierce dog, fierce storm, fierce wind.

Why lion: A lion roars loudly and hunts other animals. People have called the lion fierce for hundreds of years, so the two words sit together very naturally.

Did you know? You can also use fierce for weather — a fierce storm, a fierce wind. Both of them are strong and frightening, just like the lion.

Your own sentence: The fierce lion roared and all the deer ran away.

Q4.

B. Now, fill in the blanks with naming words that suit the first word.
beautiful ……………………………

Answer

beautiful garden

Beautiful means very lovely to look at. So it needs a naming word that is pleasing to the eye.

Other correct answers: beautiful flower, beautiful painting, beautiful song, beautiful rangoli, beautiful village.

Why garden: A garden is full of colours, flowers and green leaves. Everything in it is pleasant to look at, so the word beautiful fits it perfectly.

Tip: Beautiful can also be used for a sound. A beautiful song is lovely to hear, not to see. Meena in our poem sings a beautiful song in rhythm.

Your own sentence: There is a beautiful garden behind our school.

All four blanks together:

Describing word	Naming word you may add	The full pair
happy	child	happy child
red	rose	red rose
fierce	lion	fierce lion
beautiful	garden	beautiful garden

Tip: More than one answer is correct in every blank. Your teacher will accept any naming word that truly suits the describing word.
