Explanation:

• For each word, the correct definition matches the standard lexical meaning:

1. A belief is a thought one accepts as true, so a child's belief in the tooth fairy fits.
2. An experience is an event one has lived, like a beach trip.
3. To forget means failing to recall information, so a sticky note for a forgotten number makes sense.
4. Popular describes something widely liked, such as pizza among children.

• The rating 3 is used as an example for knowing the word well enough to teach it.
