A student was asked to compare the masses of four blocks that were all the same size but made of different materials. The student used a balance to compare the masses of two block at a time. The student repeated this process three more times with different pairs of blocks and recorded observations.
Which list shows the blocks in order from least to greatest mass?
USE THE ILLUSTRATION TO HELP ANSWER THE QUESTION

• Blocks N, M, L, P
• Blocks P, M, L, N
• Blocks N, L, M, P
• Blocks P, L, M, N
