Explanation:

To solve this winter vocabulary matching problem, we analyze each term and its corresponding description:

1. winter

Winter is the coldest season of the year. So match with c. coldest season.

2. Dec.

“Dec.” is the abbreviation for December. So match with d. December.

3. gloves

Gloves are worn to keep hands warm. So match with k. keep hands warm.

4. snowflakes

Snowflakes are frozen raindrops (formed as water vapor freezes in the atmosphere). So match with g. frozen raindrops.

5. Christmas

Christmas is celebrated in December (Dec. 25, typically). So match with d. December (note: The original “Dec.” match uses “d,” but since Christmas is in December, we align with the December description—likely a typo in the original, but contextually, “d” is December, so 5. matches “d” as Christmas is in December).

6. January

January is the first month of the year. So match with f. first month of the year.

7. icicle

8. slip

To slip means to fall down (especially on ice/snow). So match with A. to fall down (correction: original “q” was a typo; “A” (lowercase “a” in options) is “to fall down”).

9. boots

10. scarf

11. coat

15. earmuffs
