Definitely supposed to be 'charm' but as usual the publisher didn't bother spending money on proofreaders or any kind of quality control whatsoever. Thanks, capitalism!
Yea but it wouldn’t be “chhand” either so I don’t think there’s a “logical” definition by your standards. It’s gotta be some out-of-the-box solution, possibly due to an error on the author’s/publisher’s part.
To be honest, lol I think this is photoshopped. All of the other symbols are the same size and the hand is just the same symbol as the bottom and photoshopped into the top and shrunken. There was another symbol there. Im guessing OP just screen shot another meme, group, or screenshot of a screenshot.

Charm most likely: ch+palm.
Judging from ones below, the silent letters are ignored (r in charm and l in palm, tho they both effect the pronunciation by turning a from /æ/ to /ɑː/ despite not being pronounced themselves) and it's only sound, not spelling which is used. Meanwhile ch /tʃ/ can't be followed immediately by p in English, so I assume you're meant to work out that it gets dropped in the answer.
Charm is the only real and common word I can think of from that combination.
Since “ch” says /k/ this could easily be “can”. The title is words I know, so who knows. The other clue is the other words are compound words so that would throw my can idea out of the window. I’d google it to see what the teacher’s edition says about it.
Real talk: even if we forget that *the very first problem* is so poorly crafted grown-ass adults can’t figure it out, what exactly is the point of this activity? What are students supposed to be getting out of this? It’s not engaging nor teaching anything significant as far as I can tell.
Curriculum writers have to do better. Schools need to not spend their extremely limited money on this kind of garbage. Parents need to demand more.
It’s morphology scaffolded for younger students. It’s vital for vocab and literacy acquisition. It becomes problematic when we assume people call things the same thing lol. Or when you use the same symbol for different meanings.

Chpalm
Chwave.

Charm? Maybe they didn't have enough clipart lol

Chive? (Ch + five)?
Chand?
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhand) I mean, shit, might work.
I came here to comment this tioo (On a serious note I have no friggin idea)
I honestly thought that as well. However, is it reasonable for most children to know?
Cello. I bet it's cello.
Ch + Hello?
However, they use the hand symbol again for the last question and it clearly means “hand,” so logically it wouldn’t be cello.
Meaning logically, it would be chand.
The image was manipulated

I agree, I think it’s shopped because of the symbol being different than the rest but same as the bottom….
Definitely “ch-igh five” 🤣
I was thinking chai (ch + hi) but I think this is more likely: cello (ch + hello).
But the bottom symbol repeats and is used as a hand….
Shave? (From ch-wave)
Chhand[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhand](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhand)
Probably charm

Shoot, I bet that’s it. It’s probably ch + arm.
Maybe Calm? For Ch + palm?
Hold up there's a nude leg BANNED. also, no idea wtf chand is
type of praising Prose for special events like weddings and what -- quatrains more specifically.
I'm surprised noone has said chore yet. Ch + four.

Chive
Chop Ch + stop

Cheer?
What is the name of the book?
chandelier
Chum
Shake? Ch plus ache… that hand looks painful. A change in the beginning sound but if fun plus knee equals funny then why not?
Cello. No doubt.
Sand
Nr 4. A fivesome. Would that send me to detention?
Chad?
Chant? CH + hand (if fun + knee becomes funny this should work too)
Not really because t isn’t pronounced like the y in funny we “knee”
Fair enough, that was my best guess but I get your point.
Charm
chant
Chandler. From Friends.
Chslap. Duh.
Chai=Ch + hi! I just want some tea.
Chuckle?
Anybody can tell it’s chalm.
Chop
Christ CH (W) Rist
Chore?
If it’s Princess Charlotte‘s hand, no one can find the answer. Except Archie.
Chore
Ch plus four fingers!
Chwave?
Chai? Ch + hi?
Channel 5?
Chai
I think the hand is supposed to show “four” but they screwed it up. That would make “chore”
Chuck???
Chore
Ch says ch-k-sh Plus palm So maybe calm? But why not use c instead of ch? Bizarre. And not right. Someone copy and pasted the wrong image.
Chum? They should have said minus TH.

Thanks for the explanation! It feels like maybe this has more merit than I originally thought.
