Answer sheet

1. Do you have a pet? — 'Do you have a pet?' can be answered with yes or no.
2. 4 — There are 4 ticks next to blue.
3. green — Green has only 1 tick, the smallest number.
4. 2 — Count on from 3 to 5: 4, 5. That is 2 more.
5. So each person's answer is counted one time — If someone is asked twice, their answer is counted twice and the results are not true.
6. 7 — 3 + 4 = 7. Everyone gave one answer, so 7 people were asked.
7. Dog and cat got the same number of votes — Dog and cat both got 3 votes, so they are the same.
8. the tallest tower — Each block is one vote, so the tallest tower has the most votes.
