Answer 1

The correct option is A $7,19$

Solution: Option D
Say:
Let us read the question and observe the image.

Ask:
How many stickers do you see in the image?
Ans: $7$

How many stickers do you think are missing?
Ans: $12$

Why do you say so?
Ans: By reading the incomplete statement, we can see $12$ more stickers are added to the board.

Do we have all the information to fill in the blanks?
Ans: No, we only have the number stickers on the board, i.e., 7. We have to find out the total number of stickers after $12$ more stickers are added to it to fill in the blanks.

How can we find the total number of stickers on the board after adding the missing stickers?
Ans: We add $7$ and $12$ to find the total number of stickers.

What is the total?
Ans: $19$

What is the addition equation for the problem?
Ans: $7+12=19$

What will be the complete statement?
Ans: There are $7$ stickers on the board. $12$ more stickers are added. Now there are $19$ stickers.

What are the missing parts of the sentence?
Ans: $7$ and $19$
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
