• Refutes Claim 1:

  Australia has higher rates of skin cancer due to receiving more sunlight.

• Does not support or refute Claim 1

• the material ABSORBED the energy from the light

• the material did NOT absorb the energy from the light

• this is impossible; ALL materials are changed by light
