A. Food

Explanation
Food is a basic necessity for survival and is essential for maintaining good health and providing the body with energy and nutrients.

Games, TV, books, and PlayStation, on the other hand, are not essential for survival and can be considered as wants or luxuries rather than needs.

Correct Answer
E. Doesn't Move or Eat

Explanation
The characteristics of a living thing include reproducing, having cells, growing and developing, and using energy. However, not all living things necessarily move or eat. Some organisms, such as plants, are immobile and obtain energy through photosynthesis rather than consuming food. Therefore, "Doesn't Move or Eat" is the correct answer as it is not a characteristic of all living things.

Explanation
An ant is considered a living thing because it possesses the characteristics of life. It is a multicellular organism that can reproduce, grow, and respond to stimuli in its environment. Ants also require energy to survive, which they obtain through consuming food. Additionally, ants exhibit complex behaviors such as communication and social organization, further indicating their status as living organisms.

- A.

- B.
  
  Pen
- C.
  
  Plants
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Plants

Explanation
Plants need air, water, and food to survive. They require air for respiration, water for hydration and nutrient absorption, and food in the form of sunlight and nutrients from the soil. Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy and nutrients to grow and reproduce. Without these essential elements, plants would not be able to carry out their necessary life processes and would eventually die.

Correct Answer
A. Money plant

Explanation
Money plant is the correct answer because it is a type of plant that can undergo photosynthesis, a process through which plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Unlike animals like elephants or objects like erasers, money plants have the ability to produce their own food, making them self-sufficient in terms of nutrition.

  Monkey
- C.
  
  Washing machine
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
