Wedge Pulley Wheel/axle Screw Inclined plane Lever
(E) Spoon






(G) Basket






(I) Towel






(K) Napkin






(L) Pedal

Answer 1

Let's categorize the items (E) Spoon, (G) Basket, (I) Towel, (K) Napkin, and (L) Pedal based on the types of simple machines: Wedge, Pulley, Wheel/Axle, Screw, Inclined Plane, and Lever.

1. **(E) Spoon** - **Wedge** (A spoon has a curved edge that can act like a wedge for cutting or scooping.)

2. **(G) Basket** - **None** (A basket does not fit directly into any simple machine category as it is a container rather than a mechanism.)

3. **(I) Towel** - **None** (A towel is a piece of fabric used for drying or cleaning, not a simple machine.)

4. **(K) Napkin** - **None** (Similar to a towel, a napkin is used for hygiene and cleanliness and does not function as a simple machine.)

5. **(L) Pedal** - **Wheel/Axle** (A pedal is part of a bicycle or other machinery that functions through a wheel/axle system.)

Here’s a summary of the categorization:

- **Wedge**: (E) Spoon
- **Wheel/Axle**: (L) Pedal
- **None**: (G) Basket, (I) Towel, (K) Napkin
