Based on the picture, which statement best compares the space taken up by the rock and the orange juice?

• The rock and the orange juice seem to fill about the same amount of space in the glass.

• The rock takes up less space because it is a solid and does not fill the glass completely.

• The orange juice takes up more space because it spreads out to fill the glass.

• The rock takes up more space because it is heavier than the orange juice.

Jackson has two jars. Jar A is filled with air, and Jar B is filled with water. Compare the volume of the air in jar A with the volume of the water in jar B. Which statement is supported by the evidence shown?

• If the lids are removed, the volume of the air in Jar A will change, but the volume of water in Jar B will not change.

• If lids are removed, the volume of air in Jar A will not change, but the volume of water in Jar B will change.

• The volume of the air in Jar A is less than the volume of water in Jar B.

• The volume of the air in Jar A is greater than the volume of water in Jar B.

Why do wet clothes dry even when the temperature is not high enough to boil water?

• The sun melts the water into the air.

• Water molecules at the surface escape into the air after gaining enough energy.

• The wind freezes the water, making it disappear.

• Clothes absorb the water and turn it into a solid.
