Answer 1

1. Lettuce (The words "let us" point to lettuce)
2. Cabbage (Cab is another name for a taxi, and the rings in a tree tell its age. When we combine cab and age, cabbage is the result.)
3. Cucumber (A pool stick is called a cue stick. Burnt umber is a brownish color. When we combine cue, c, and umber, cucumber is the result.)

5. Watermelon (Water is a drink. When we combine water, me, and "lon", watermelon is the result.)
