Explanation:
- In the first part, we have to match the nouns with the adjectives. "The elephant" matches with "intelligent", "The Gobi desert" matches with "blong", "The Amazon" and "That student" have not been matched yet, and "The Vatican" matches with "heavy".
- In the second part, we have to complete the sentences in the superlative form using the matched nouns and adjectives. The superlative form is used to describe something as the highest degree or the most extreme.
- In sentence 1, we use "the most intelligent" to describe the elephant as the most intelligent land animal in the world.
- In sentence 2, we use "one of the driest" to describe the Gobi desert as one of the driest deserts in the world.
- In sentence 3, we use "the longest" to describe the Amazon as the longest river in the world.
- In sentence 4, we use "the smallest" to describe that student as the smallest person in the class.
- In sentence 5, we use "the heaviest" to describe the Vatican as the heaviest country in the world.
