1 fist: This is correct. A "fist" is a closed hand, the fingers forming a tight ball. "To punch" means to hit or strike someone with a fist. Example: Boxers punch each other in the face. Note: the verb "to punch" is exclusively reserved for "fists" - it is not used with other weapons.

1 gun: Sorry, you can't punch someone with a gun!
1 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to punch someone with!
2 knife: This is correct. "To slash" is to cut with a violent (and quite random) sweeping stroke with a sharp blade, most commonly a knife or sword. We use "knives" (with forks) to cut our food into pieces. A "sword" is an "epee" - a long, straight weapon used by knights and pirates! Ah-ha!
2 fist: It is impossible to "slash" using a fist - even if you are Bruce Lee!
2 gun: We can't "slash" with a gun. But you can "strike" or "hit" someone with a gun (if you don't want to make a mess shooting them!).
2 feather: Sorry, a feather is far too soft and light to slash someone with!
3 gun: This is correct. We "shoot" with a gun. Example: Warbuckle shoots bears! "To shoot" is an irregular verb (shoot/shot/shot). A single act of shooting is called a "(gun) shot".
3 knife: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a knife!
3 fist: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a fist!
3 feather: Oops! We cannot "shoot" using a feather!
4 feather: A "feather" is a plume - one of the soft, flat structures that covers a bird's body. Example: My pillow is made of goose FEATHERS. 'To tickle is to move your fingers (or another soft object) over a person's skin so that they laugh. Feathers are perfect for tickling feet!
