Explanation:

To solve the vocabulary matching, we analyze each word:

• "sugar" is a sweetener, so matches f.
• "flour" is a powder from grains (wheat, etc.), matches j.
• "bread" is a baked product for sandwiches/toast, matches b.
• "loaf" is a baked mound of bread for slicing, matches i.
• "toothpaste" is for cleaning teeth, matches j? Wait, no: toothpaste is in a tube, but meaning: "a substance that you clean your teeth with" is i? Wait, recheck:
• "toothpaste": the meaning "a substance that you clean your teeth with" is i? Wait, no, let's list all:

1. be out of: d (to not have any left)
2. sugar: f (a sweetener)
3. flour: j (a powder made from grains such as wheat, used for...)
4. bread: b (a baked product used for making sandwiches or toast)
5. loaf: i (a baked mound of bread that you slice up for single ser...)

b) bread (baked product for sandwiches)
c) a dozen (twelve)

2. sugar
3. flour
4. bread
5. loaf
6. toothpaste
7. cereal
8. dish detergent

i) a baked mound of bread that you slice up for single ser... (loaf)

2. cereal: h (breakfast from grains)
3. dish detergent: a (soap for dishes)
4. a dozen: c (twelve)
5. jar: e (container for jam etc.)

1. toothpaste: k

1. cereal: h

1. dish detergent: a (already marked as A in the image, correct)
