I have tried so many ways to do these questions, but I cannot figure it out.
Word Bank

cloth harsh birch
scratch whittle switch
1. My aunt likes to ____________ small figures from the trees branches.
2. The _____________ tree has a pretty, white bark.
Write the opposite of the meaning.
1. mild
2. a single one
My Guesses:
1. birch
2.whittle
Opposite part guesses.
1. harsh
2. switch
Am I correct? If not, tell me the correct answers. Thank you so much.
<G> you have #1 and #2 reversed. I am sure you meant Your aunt whittles and the birch tree.
Opposites - harsh is the opposite of mild...
However, switch is not the opposite of one. Which is the only word in your batch of words that means more than one?
In your sentences, you have 1 and two switched.
On your opposites, 1 is correct but 2 is not. Think about cookies, a b____ is a bunch of them opposed to a single one.
To answer the first question, "My aunt likes to ____________ small figures from the trees branches," you need to choose the word that best fits in the blank. Let's take a look at the options provided in the word bank: crunch, thoughtful, batch, theater, cloth, harsh, birch, scratch, whittle, switch.
In this case, the word that fits best is "whittle." Whittling refers to the act of carving shapes or figures from wood using a knife or other cutting tool. Therefore, the correct answer to question 1 is "whittle."
Regarding the second question, "The _____________ tree has a pretty, white bark," you need to choose a word from the word bank that describes a tree with a pretty, white bark. The word that best fits is "birch." Birch trees often have distinctive white bark, making them a suitable answer for this question.
Now, regarding the opposites of the given meanings:
1. "Mild" can be understood as the opposite of "harsh," so your guess of "harsh" is correct.
2. "A single one" can be understood as the opposite of "batch." So your guess of "switch" is not correct. The correct answer would be "thoughtful." A batch refers to a group or collection of things, while "thoughtful" refers to something done carefully or considerately.
Therefore, to summarize:
1. The correct answer to question 1 is "whittle."
2. The correct answer to question 2 is "birch."
3. The correct answer to the opposite of "mild" is "harsh."
4. The correct answer to the opposite of "a single one" is "thoughtful."
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to arrive at the correct answers.
