Explanation:

For Question 4:

The passage states that objects close to the flashlight make smaller shadows, and the shadow matches the object's shape. A fork near the flashlight will make a small, fork-shaped shadow.

For Question 5:

The passage focuses on how light interacts with objects (forming shadows, passing through materials), which relates to the movement and behavior of light.

For Question 6:

The passage defines "transparent" with the synonym "see-through" and gives clear glass as an example, so "clear" has the same meaning.

Answer:

1. B. a small and sharp shadow shaped like a fork
2. C. the way light moves
3. D. clear
