Here are the correct matches between the descriptions of the states of matter in Column A and their corresponding types in Column B:

  1. State of matter where particles can slide past one another:
    Match: a. Liquid

  2. State of matter where particles move freely within their container:
    Match: c. Gas

  3. State of matter where particles are packed tightly:
    Match: b. Solid

So the completed matches would be:

  1. a. Liquid
  2. c. Gas
  3. b. Solid
