When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, it typically becomes positively charged due to the loss of electrons. In this scenario, we need to consider the charges of the other objects in the images.
- **Balloon 1 and Balloon 2**: Balloons are often negatively charged after being rubbed against hair or other materials. A positively charged glass rod would attract negatively charged balloons.
- **Plastic sheet 1 and Plastic sheet 2**: Plastics typically become negatively charged when rubbed. Thus, a positively charged glass rod would also attract these plastic sheets.
Considering the above analysis:
- A glass rod with a positive charge would attract both **balloon 1** and **balloon 2** as well as **plastic sheet 1** and **plastic sheet 2** if they are negatively charged.
Thus, the correct selections would be:
- **A. Balloon 1**
- **B. Balloon 2**
- **C. Plastic sheet 1**
- **D. Plastic sheet 2**
You could also include options involving combinations if the format allows. If required to select specific options in this context, I would recommend choosing:
- **E. Balloon 1 and balloon 2**
- **F. Plastic sheet 1 and balloon 1**
However, the best course would be to check the specific charge status of all items depicted to make the most accurate selection.
