Cultural and Creative Arts for Primary 4
Samples:
- Drinking: Liquid, Eating (Solid, Milk, Oatmeal)
- Explanation: Drinking involves consuming liquids, while eating involves consuming solids or semi-solids. Milk is a type of liquid, and oatmeal is a type of solid food.
- Birds: Tree, Fish: __________ (Cave, Water, Sand)
- Explanation: Birds live in trees, while fish live in water. So, the correct answer is “Water” because it is the habitat for fish.
- Floor: Carpet, Wall: __________ (Lino, Paper, Wood)
- Explanation: Carpets are materials used on the floor, similarly, Lino is another material used for flooring. Walls are often made of materials like paper, wood, or bricks.
Analogies:
- Bread = FGBC
- Explanation: Each letter in the word “Bread” is moved 1 step forward in the English alphabet, so B becomes C, R becomes S, E becomes F, and D becomes E, giving us “CSEF.”
- Door = EPSD
- Explanation: Similarly, each letter in “Door” is moved 1 step forward, so D becomes E, O becomes P, O becomes P again (since it moved two steps), and R becomes S, giving us “EPSD.”
- Watch = XWZC
- Explanation: Applying the same rule, W becomes X, A becomes B, T becomes U, C becomes D, and H becomes I, giving us “XWZC.”
Underline the group name for these words:
- Furniture Wardrobe Bench Chair – Furniture
- Explanation: Furniture is the group name that includes items like wardrobes, benches, and chairs.
Underline the word that does not belong to the group:
- Juice Milk Lice Fanta – Lice
- Explanation: Lice is not a beverage like juice, milk, and Fanta.
Complete the Analogies:
- Narrow and Thin, False and No – Purchase and Thin
- Explanation: Narrow is a synonym for thin, similarly, False is a synonym for No. Purchase is a synonym for Buy, so “Purchase and Thin” makes sense in this analogy.
- Calm Start Old – Begin and Old
- Explanation: Calm is a synonym for Start, and Old is an antonym for New. Therefore, “Begin and Old” complete the analogy.
- Buy New Popular – Modern and Popular
- Explanation: Buy is a synonym for Purchase, and New is an antonym for Old. Therefore, “Modern and Popular” complete the analogy.
- Ancient and False
- Explanation: Ancient means very old, but False means not true. They do not have a clear relationship, unlike the other pairs.
- Famous and No
- Explanation: Famous means well-known, but No means the opposite of yes. They do not have a clear relationship, unlike the other pairs.
