Answer 1

Here's the correct matching of each term with its definition:

- **screw**: a type of simple machine made of a pointed cylindrical pin with a raised thread winding around it
- **inclined plane**: a type of simple machine with a smooth, slanted surface, reducing the force needed to do the work
- **lever**: a type of simple machine with a solid bar that rests on a fulcrum point, reducing the force needed to lift a load
- **pulley**: a basic mechanical device that changes the direction or amount of a force needed to lift a load or do work
- **wheel and axle**: a type of simple machine that consists of a larger wheel attached to a smaller axle, which rotates together
- **simple machine**: a basic mechanical device that makes work easier by allowing us to apply less force over a greater distance
