Here are the matches for the sentences with the missing words:

  1. A - Fossils are the remains of a plant or animal that lived long ago.

  2. B - Animals and plants that have turned to stone are fossils.

  3. 2. - How are fossils formed?

  4. D - Fossils are always made from bones only. (This statement is actually misleading; fossils can also come from plants.)

  5. A. - Fossils only form in water. (This statement is also misleading; fossils can form in various environments, not just in water.)

  6. C. - Fossils are made when animals and plants fly into space. (This statement is incorrect and does not relate to the process of fossilization.)

So the completed matches would be:

  • A matches with "Fossils are the remains of a plant or animal that lived long ago."
  • B matches with "Animals and plants that have turned to stone are fossils."
    1. corresponds to the question, without a matching statement.
  • D and A are incorrect or misleading.
  • C is incorrect.
