This part tests whether you understand short sentences well enough to picture them. 5 questions — answer format: choose a picture (A–F) for each sentence.
A set of pictures, labelled A to F, and five sentences. You choose the picture each sentence describes. There are more pictures than sentences.
The sentences describe an action or situation — someone sleeping, reading, running for a bus — so you need the verb as well as the nouns. Several pictures may contain the same object, and the action is what tells them apart.
为每个句子选择相应的图片。
wèi měi gè jù zi xuǎn zé xiāng yìng de tú piàn 。
Match each sentence with a picture.

Automatically. Every question has one correct answer and all carry the same weight. A wrong answer costs nothing more than a blank one, so never leave a question empty.
Yes. At HSK 1 the printed words and sentences carry pinyin, so you can read the paper before you know every character. It is still worth learning the characters — the pinyin is gone from HSK 3.
No — at least one is left over, so check each match on its own merits.
At HSK 1 and 2, yes.
