Here are the correct definitions matched to their vocabulary terms:

Potential energy → E. energy of position/stored energy
Kinetic energy → D. energy of motion
Thermal energy → A. describes the total energy of a group of particles
Temperature → B. a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles
Heat → C. energy transfer from warmer object to cooler object
Insulator → I. material not good at conducting thermal energy transfer
Conductor → F. materials that allow transfer of heat energy
Convection → G. transfer of thermal energy in a fluid due to temperature difference
Conduction → J. transfer of thermal energy among particles in a substance due to contact
Radiation → H. transfer of energy by EM waves through matter or space
