Look at Yuki's sketch. How do round holes keep paint jars safe?

  1. Round holes fit round jars snugly, so jars stay upright and don't tip. (correct answer)
  2. Round holes make jars spill more, because circles always pour paint out.
  3. The holder is tall, so jars can roll away faster on the table.
Explanation: This tests matching shapes. Round holes fit round jars perfectly. The jars sit tight and cannot tip over.

Question 9

Look at Chen's sketch. How does the long spout help reach high plants?

  1. The long curved spout reaches far, so Chen waters high plants without spilling. (correct answer)
  2. The long curved spout blocks sunlight, so the plants stay cool all day.
  3. The long curved spout makes the can heavier, so water disappears faster.
Explanation: This asks about tool shapes and reaching. A long curved spout is like a long arm. It helps water reach far places without moving the whole can or spilling.

Question 10

Look at Jamal's sketch. Why is the flat canopy shape helpful?

  1. The flat top blocks sun from above, making cool shade on the ground. (correct answer)
  2. The flat top makes rain go up, so the playground stays dry inside.
  3. The flat top is round like a ball, so it can roll away fast.
Explanation: This asks about how shapes solve problems. A flat canopy blocks the sun from above. When the sun can't get through, it makes shade underneath for kids to play.

Question 11

Look at Amir's sketch. How do tray sections help serve snacks faster?

  1. The grid sections hold one snack each, so everyone gets snacks at once. (correct answer)
  2. The grid sections make it round, so the tray rolls to each child.
  3. The grid sections are taller, so snacks jump into the air quickly.
Explanation: This tests understanding organized shapes. Grid sections are like little boxes in the tray. Each box holds one snack, so you can give many snacks at the same time.

Question 12

Look at Amir's sketch. How does the long spout help?

  1. The long curved spout reaches high plants, so water pours without spilling. (correct answer)
  2. The short spout reaches higher, so Amir must tip the can more.
  3. The can is shiny, so plants grow taller and need less water.
Explanation: This tests how parts help with tasks. Long spouts reach far places. Amir can water high plants easily. The curved shape helps water flow smoothly.

Question 13

Look at Chen's sketch. How does the deep basket help?

  1. The deep sides hold supplies inside, so Chen can carry many at once. (correct answer)
  2. The basket is flat, so it blocks the sun on the playground.
