Yes, you can put a lamp on a table so you can see better whilst you are doing your homework. If you do not have enough light you can strain your eyes.

Answer: lawn mower

An adult would use a lawn mower to cut the grass, although they would use a hedge trimmer to cut a hedge if you had one and a pair of scissors would be totally impractical!

Answer: electric heater

People use heaters to keep themselves warm, but you have to be careful not to sit or stand near one. If you do, you may run the risk of being burnt.

Answer: shredder

If an adult works from home they might have some office equipment in their study. Although all of the choices are office equipment, you would use a shredder to get rid of any old, unwanted paperwork.
