Playing detective with the Crown Jewels

 

The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are a collection of royal ceremonial objects kept in the Tower of London.

They are the symbols of 800 years of monarchy.

 

The Great Star of Africa ornates the Sceptre.

One of the jewels has no diamond; the others all have a big one.

The Crown of the Queen Mother has a famous diamond, but it is not the biggest.

The Koh-i-Noor is a 105-carat diamond, 212 carats less than the diamond which ornates the Imperial Crown.

 

 

Read the text very carefully and match each jewel with its diamond: complete the chart with '0' or 'X'
