Jose was riding his bike around his neighborhood when he noticed something strange about the mailboxes on his street. The tops of many of the mailboxes looked faded and lighter in color. When he got home, he looked at his mailbox, which his mom just bought, he noticed it was not faded at all.

What most likely explains why some of his neighbors’ mailboxes were faded, but his mailbox was not?

• A. His neighbors bought the mailboxes already faded, and his mom bought one that was not faded.

• A. The energy from the Sun caused his neighbors’ mailboxes to fade over time, and since his mailbox was new, it was not faded yet.

• Something was probably rubbing the tops of all of his neighbors’ mailboxes but not his mailbox.

• Sound energy from passing cars caused the paint on the top of the mailboxes to fall off, and since his mailbox was new, the paint has not fallen off yet
